What Fish go together?

[kdblove_99]

OK, I just set up my 120 Gallon Freshwater tank and in a few weeks i'm going to get my fish and there are several i really like.

I like the Arrowanas,Frontosa's,Oscars,Clownknifes and Clown loaches.

Which of these Fish can go in the same tank together?

Oscars and Oscars.

Clown Knives get too big, as do Arowanas.

Fronts need to be kept in their own company, and they do best in different water from all the rest.

Clown Loaches would be pretty cool in a species tank...it would be a bad idea to keep them with Oscars unless they are large in comparison to the Oscars...and the Oscars will never grow to the point that they could consume the Loaches.

Years ago i had a 100 gallon tank and had a clownknife and Oscar and they did fine,never a problem.

But yeah i was pretty sure a Frontosa would be way to agressive for the others.

So could you mix a Arrowana and clownknife together?


There was one other fish my GF liked it was some sort of shovelnose not the catfish it was kinda longer and swam near the middle to top of tank

I think that the Aro might eat the Clown Knife at some point, plus both are a little big for the aquarium.

Os eat Knives in the wild, so I'd worry about the Clown's ability to survive long-term.
