Okay so I was all this time telling my dad how I need a bigger tank for my fish. So I told him when we re redo my basement (flooded from broken window) why can't I build a huge fish tank like 400+ gallons. He was like whatever. But this is your last tank. So I got him to agree with building a huge 400+ gallon tank. Probably going to be in the 500 gallon range. But, my current stock I'm worried about are my cichlids. I have 3 oscars and 3 jack dempseys. Both have possible pairs within them. I'm getting 3 convicts as well. Also pairs within. But I am planning on doing a 500 gallon tank. Any ideas of other stock I can add? I was thinking a Jag pair. Or a lone Jag. As all my fish are really aggressive like more than normally. But I'm thinking of doing a possible stock of this
3- oscars
3- jack dempseys
3- convicts
1- jag (maybe 2. Pair?)
3- sun catfish
2- Senegal bichirs
6- bristlenose plecos
4- common plecos (until 18")
Would this stock work?
I know some pairs might just dominate the tank. But that's why I'm getting them all at a relatively small size. Have the oscars and jacks already at 2"-4.5". But I'd get the jag or jags at maybe a couple inches smaller like when my other fish are at maybe 8" I'd get 3" jags? Idk yet. But I really want jags. Would this stock work? Feel like the tank is too big to find any of the fish lol. It would have some huge driftwood along with like 100 caves all over
