It depends, I've had Buenos Aires tetras in with small central american cichlids (convicts, firemouth, herotilapia) and they didn't get eaten, but the larger and more aggressive the fish the more likely they will be eaten.

I can't imagine owning a fish worth thousands of dollars, it would be more than just hurtful emotionally if something bad happened to it.

Wrestling halfbeaks can breed in freshwater, they don't need brackish.

Salvini's are very attractive fish, among the more aggressive of the smaller CA cichlids though.

Smaller fast moving fish, most people use them to make a timid cichlid more comfortable, and alsi liven up the tank. Giant danios and Buenos Aires Tetras are commonly used, as are rainbowfish for bigger tanks. I douby that the OP's oscar won't be making lunch of an adult male red hump...

must be a challenging species due to their being brackish, are you considering this or do you already have any of these?

I know the question wasn't for me, but there are some parasites, like intestinal worms that take longer to show than typical stuff like ich, velvet, etc.

if it's for a friend just do it for free or in return for the adult beverage of your choice next you go out (assuming you're of legal drinking age).

I believe New Life Spectrum flake food exists, and if it is anything like the pelleted food, it must be pretty darn good.

perhaps a pair of rainbow cichlids (Herotilapia multispinosa).

If headcougar were to remove the sharks, the rest of the stock list (I'm not sure about the gobies, I'll admit) doesn't need to be kept in brackish water, so you might as well keep it as freshwater.

here is what could end up being a pair of multies, I'll be adding more fish soon.

I'd look into dwarf cichlids if you want personality and color, especially the dwarf acaras and rams.

the only thing that bothers me is if I go with the caudopunks instead of julies, I fear they will compete too much with the shelldweller I end up choosing.

I've converted what was my planted tank into what will soon be a Tanganyikan tank, and I have the tank basically with a pile of rocks and one side and the other to be for placing shells. I've had some input already but here are my final ideas on stock list for the tank, and I basically wanted to...

other than the columbian sharks, the 55 gallon tank might as well be converted back to freshwater rather than brackish.

what kind of stock list are you planning if you don't mind me deviating from your original post.

you could theoretically add a small cichlid tankmate like a red hump eartheater or something along those lines, but you would really need to beef up the filtration and water changes significantly.

I remember being here back in the day (under my old screen name 'ruben') and posted here very often, and was aeven a mod in the brackish forum, but I pretty much disappeared for a few years until recently.

Levamisole, especially for camallanus (sp).
