I thought about the angels.Firefly What odd bolls? Lowflyer I don't murder knife fish! Odd balls being the knife fishes, Large cichlids and fish that grow too large for the common aquarium.

OddBalls --> Fish that generally are not found all that often in the hobby and have a general "non-normal fish" shape...

Think Puffers,Butterfly fish,all the Knife fish,Sleeper Gobies,Elephant noses,Baby whales,etc...

Ok Guys.I think Im gonna take a risk and mix oscars and BGKF.

Mark ... DONT !!!! This will NOT work... Oscars will kill the BGKF - no mistake... This is an either or situation mate - Decide wich species you like more,then pick tankmates for them...

I'll get one big tank and make it a Angelfish biotope (or come over to the marine side:p)
