Oscars and plecos put out huge amounts of waste, and can easily foul up small tanks with ammonia. You're already pushing it with two three-inch waste factories in there, adding another fish will just make the problem worse. Personally, I'd just wait until you move the two hulks out of there, and then work on stocking the twenty-five. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Wait for the 75Gal. & then start stocking your 25Gal. tank. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
