Ok so in my 125 gallon I have a 7-8 inch vieja, 4-5 inch flowerhorn, two 3 inch salvinis. I am thinking about adding my breeding pair of jack dempseys to this tank. Will this work? I would like to do some tropicals in the 60 gallon tank that I am keeping the jacks in now. If this won't work then can I seperate the jacks, put the male in the 125 gallon and keep the female in the 60 gallon and add some tropicals the the female jack tank? Which one of these options will be the best way to go? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd say rehome one Dempsey then add to the 125 although that 125 is overstocked in the long run.

The vieja and flowerhorn both are 10+ fish and flowerhorn aren't a community fish and if the salvini pair up the aggression and space in that tank will get very limited

Ok. So if i rehome the flower, would i be able to add another fish? I would like the tank to be more active

If you rehome the flowerhorn you could add the male Dempsey

When the flowerhorn comes into his own, the tank will be his alone. He/she needs his own tank. Trouble ahead.
