The tank is a 72 bowfront established for over a year.
The current occupants are a 7 inch red tiger oscar, a 5 inch blood red parrot, and a 4 inch pink kisser. I would like to add a blue dempsey and one other fish but do not know what can be safely added.
The parrot owns the tank. It eats first and always reinforces it place at the top of the heirarchy and where his territory is. I tried a 5 inch severum but the parrot basically destroyed it within 2 weeks.
The fish has to be tough enough to survive the parrot (without killing the parrot of course) and establish itself eating and it's own territory.
The dempsey should have no problem but what else can be added?

Your severum was to timid a fish to put in that tank but if you want somthing that can hold it's own try an umbee, a dovii,a red
devil, a wolf, a jag or a jewel cichlid and i think you will find that mr parrot's reign in the tank will come to an abrupt end.
Cheers.
