The Danio is at risk from the Pacu and especially the Oscar. The Bala in time will be at risk from the Oscar. I think this is what you were asking. IP: Logged |

In a tank with a Pacu or Oscar I wouldn't put in plants unless you have the time to replant them every half hour. They will be continually uprooting plants just from their swimming motion alone. For decoration I would use rocks with a low profile or very thin and placed along the back of the tank to allow the fish the swimming room they need. IP: Logged |

Better hope that tank is at least a 150 gallon or more, because they may not have told you this, but pacus reach 45-50 pounds full grown. IP: Logged |

with my oscar i have many java ferns, hell nip at them once and a while but they dont float so they just hang out at the bottom among the rocks. also i you put heavy rocks around the plants then its harder for the oscars to get at them IP: Logged |

Alot depends on your tank size. Unless you have at least a 500 gallon aquarium, you should get rid of the pacu immediately. They grow very quickly and very large. Also, bala sharks are VERY active and really should be in groups of at least 3. So that many will need at least a 150 gallon tank. The same goes for silver dollars. That rainbow fish is going to get eaten. The oscar will need at least 50 gallons. So I'd say unless you have at least a 250 gallon tank (and get rid of the pacu), you can probably expect some fish to die. -Chelle IP: Logged |
