Tankmate Suggestions

[gambler]

I finally found a person to take my red pacu. However, this will allow me to put some new fish in.

Setup:
65 gallon w/ integrated filter
8" common plEco
3" common african chiclid
2 6" bala sharks

I need fish that are easy to find, inexpensive, and hardy. Hopefully they wont grow too large for my tank, i learned my lesson. Also if you reply dont ask me questions like what kinds of fish i like, just tell me what you would get in this situation.
Thanks

I'm gonna flame for a second, and then I'll give some suggestions...How long is that 65 gallon? A bala shark will need 6 feet of space to run (they get really skittish, I had to trade mine in when he got to be 7 inches or so because he kept ramming the sides of the tank)

Also, plecos get huge, so be ready for a trade on him as well in a few years. There's one in the not for sale tank at my lfs that is about 2 feet or so....

Hmmm...if you have an african in there, why not consider other cichlids from the same region, say, a couple more like the one you have? They'll be of the same temperament and tank requirements, and africans come in a variety of breeds, which means more color options...

Just my 2 cents...
