120 gallon tank stock list

[michaelvd75]

I'm new to this forum so a short introduction, i'm a 16 year old guy from the Netherlands.
But here is the question, i'm thinking about getting a 120 gallon tank (juwel rio 400). It's main purpose is to house my favorite fish, my male convict cichlid wich is now in a 15 gallon tank. But what other fish can I keep with him? I really like jaguar cichlids, tiger oscars, flowerhorn cichlids, green terrors and some of the smaller snakehead species (channa aurantimaculata), but how much fish can I keep in this tank (and they cannot rip my male convict cichlid apart)?

Keep him with a super red or lemon oscar

Can I combine, the convict cichlid, jaguar cichlid, tiger oscar (I think a tiger oscar looks the nicest) and a flowerhorn cichlid in this tank? Or is the tank to small to keep those 4 fish (without them trying to kill eatchother).

Too small. Convict and Oscar would probably be the best combination out of what you listed. I would make sure the Oscar is a good bit bigger than the convict. They pack a punch and will kill an Oscar at the same size.

Jags and FH are aggressive with teeth. The Oscar, jag, and FH grow quick along with a size that will take over that tank by themselves. In around 2 yrs the Oscar will fill that tank out nicely a long with your convict with some decent room to scape the tank.

And what about dropping the FH, so a male convict, a tiger oscar and a jaguar cichlid. Or is it to small for that as well?

too small for all 3 in my opinion. That jag may go agro, and the convict may insight some violence as well.

Pick a mix of small/medium sized Central American cichlid species like Thorichthys, Amitatliana, Cryptoheros, Archocentrus, Rocio, etc.

If you really want the jaguar (I am getting that you really what one) then get that with your convict and 6 red hook silver dollars. Put in lots of bog wood and plants to break up lines of sight and it should work. But you will need max filtration, something in the region if an FX6 or 2 separate smaller filters. If ita what you really want it's worth a go

Jags get big, what about a Freddy, bumble bee Oscar (is that the smaller growing one?) +The con?

Crassipinis is the Oscar that's supposed to get 9 inch, my bad!-)
