Suggestions on new fish?

They will eat very small fish, but there are many nice 4-6" Characins and Barbs I was thinking about. I'll reply again with some more specific information on the ones that might be suitable for your tank.

By the way, don't worry, the only stupid question is one not asked.
 
the red heads are dope looking my friends used to have 1 but it died cause his brother took care of it over the summer 1 time and left the window open and the water exaporated to a low red head death. :( they are nice fish tho kinda aggressive but maybe that was jsut his, he killed everything in my friends 75g until it was the only inhabitant.
 
From personal experience the only fish I can recommend are

Exodon paradoxus - Buck Tooth Tetra - 4"
Metynnis argenteus - Silver Dollar - 4"
Leporinus fasciatus - Black Banded Leporinus - 8 to 10"

Trichogaster pectoralis - Snake Skin Goramy - 8"
Trichogaster trichopterus - Three Spot Goramy/Blue Goramy - 4"
Trichogaster leeri - Pearl Goramy - 4"
Macropodus opercularis - Paradise Fish - 4"

T-Barb (I don't know the Latin name)

Synodontis eupterus - Feather Fin Catfish - 8"
Synodontis angelicus - Angelicus Cat - 8"
Hoplosternum thoracatum - Hoplo Cat - 7 to 8"


I'm sure others have other recommendations though.

Red Heads (Synspila) are typically peaceful for a cichlid. I wouldn't worry about it being to aggressive.

Thanks alot, Ill start researching a little on my own. I appreciate all your help.

Rare cichlids , Email me about the Zonata. Price? Where are you located? shipping? How old are they and how big do they get? Im in NC 27863 if that is needed. Thanks cbatten@nc.rr.com
 
I e-mailed you.
 
FYI, the T-barb (aka Spanner Barb) has a Latin name of Barbus lateristriga, and the Hoplo is now Megalechis thoracata.
