120 gallon stock questions on aggression.

[dirtyblacksocks]

Anyone think a female festae, male barred midas and tapajos red pike cichlid are too much for a 6' 120 gallon?

My main goal is to keep the festae and the midas in the tank - any suggestions on other fish that may work in this size to spread aggression around, perhaps a full grown tiger oscar?

tinfoil barbs or another large ditherfish will help with aggresion =)

Going to have some redhook silver dollars in there as target fish - just wondering if anyone thinks this is a terribly bad idea or if it has a good chance of working out due to the 6 foot tank length.

The Midas may be a bully. It may be a bad idea, or it may be a good idea. With cichlids, you just need to try it out to see if there will be good compatibility.

a full grown oscar can take a beating, a few mild-tempered cichlids may help such as a severum or oscar because they can handle a a fair bit of aggression and stand up for themselves.
