ooo and my LFS has alot of beautiful looking good sized clown loaches for $20 each.. hmmm I think I might buy 3...
Clowns loaches are a schoolind fish and should be kept in groups of no less than 5, they also grow, eventually, to over 10"+. Its only 100 gallons and you have a jag, JD, Oscar, and Buttikoferii. I think you should slow down haha.. Nice tank however

I'm surprised there hasn't been a homicide in this tank yet...Butti is the one to keep your eye on here. If either the jag or Butti is a female and drops eggs that oscar will be in big trouble.

BTW, Butti is african, not from the Americas.

If that oscar is 13" it puts that tank at almost 8' long, judging by post 16.

Tank looks great though, I bet your plants are scared!

You are at the limit for fish in that tank but IF you MUST....go for green or red terror. A cichlid that can maybe hold its own with those monsters. Nice setup though..
