180 gallon fish tank question

[Brianj77]

I just brought a brand new 180 gallon fish tank ,, I'm thinking about getting 2 Asian wild oscars, 1 green terror , 1 peacock bass and 1 arowanna fish not sure witch one yet ,, either a Jardini or a black Aro my biggest problem is I don't have room to get a bigger tank that's why I went with the 180 . Can someone help me decide witch aro to get ,, I just don't want any problems with fish fighting . The tank is filtered with two brand new fx6 filters if that helps

Thanks ,, Brian

That 180 is not big enough to house the fish you want to put in the 180.

Any idea how to make it work with the set up I have . My two favoite fish are the arowanna and the oscars

A pair of Oscar's but I suggest passing on the Aro due to the size it will get. Btw have you done any research on any of the fish?

Yes I did , some say min tank size is 180. I have a 15 inch Jardini aro in my 75 but I selling him and tank and getting all small 2-4 inch fish to put in the 180 so everyone is around the same size

The aros won't fit in there for life, the oscars will

It isn't recommended at all. They need a much larger tank to grow to full size and will be more intolerant of tank mates in a smaller tank.

Your wild oscars come from South America not asia

What size tank would work then ?

 

[tlindsey]

500 + for an adult Silver Arowana you would have to consider the with and length of the aquarium.

What about a black or Jardini ,,, I know silvers get way to big and I wasn't going to get one anyway
