heh, an oranda wouldn't last long with the TSN's once they start getting over a meter

I'm assuming with the other fish that you have listed there, that you realize how big the red finned cigar shark gets, but just in case you don't, here's a picture of one in a tank full of 6 inch frontosa and other big fish....
