midas cichlids

[BigFish]

if i have two senegal bichirs, and two really small oscars, how many midas cichlids could i put in an 80 gallon tank.

[WckedMidas]

1 possibly two. problem is they meaner then a oscar by far and i would be worried about the oscar getting into fights and maybe hurt

[iheartfishies]

Ya, My midas bucks like **** at my other fish, except the Dovii.
He can't touch the africans.
They're too fast.
He did beat the LIVING **** out of my Red Devil though. :(

Sometimes if they all grow up together they're ok.
SOMETIMES.

none

I'm not sure about any maybe 1

[Angler]

You could try to put 2 Senegals and 1 Oscar or 2 Sens and 1 Midas in an 80. Although, many Midas won't tolerate ANY tankmates.

I predict a lot of deaths with the addition of a Midas in your 80

[Foomanchu3669]

this is my 75 g (12 midas 3.5+) 4 red Terror 8"(1 m & 3 F) 1 pair barred midas(from jeff).
soon they all going in to my 180g,

[fishkeeper25]

wow beautiful fish very nice

It will depend on how big the oscar is to the midas. If the oscar is bigger you could have 2. The temperment of the fish will determine alot of things so just keep your eye on the new midas. I have had Midas in with oscars and there was no problem.

lol... yea but some crazy replies in it none the less.

just to clear this up though,
the correct answer is NONE.
1. That tank is WAY to small for the all the fish listed
2. Once one of the dominate males got to large it would wipe out the tank.

[fishkeeper25]

i wonder what this guy ended up doing lol i wonder if he got it

[TrikkyMakk]

1 at best.

You need to approximate the eventual size of the oscars as well as the other fish already present and then multiply times the number of toyal inches to find out how many fish inches are left before overwhelming the bio-load of the tank. 1" of fish per gallon.

what do u mean 1 inch of fish per gallon? tht rule does not work,imo its 1 inch per 5 gallons,for cichlids

[reverse]

so I can put a 55 inch fish is a 55 gallon tank...............cool, learn something new everyday

You cant put 2 sens, 2 oscars and a midas in a 80g tank. I would go with 1 midas in the tank or 2 sens and 1 oscars.
