180g stock list

[tbradley97]

I am soon upgrading my 40g to a 180g but not sure wat i wanna stock it with so far im moving my 4" oscar, 3" convict, 3" firemouth and 2x 7" plecos but i want to put a few more critters to put in there i was thinking about adding another oscar but i kind of want something a little different.

You could add a school of silver dollars which would add a lot of movement to the tank.

Woud i be crazy to try adding an oscar jack and GT?

 

[bigbaddad]

no but make sure the oscar is biggest otherwise the g.t will likely pick on the oscar.

thats expected with the size of the oscar i understand but would it be even crazierr if i put a jag in there too??? The fish would all basically be grown together from babies so i assume they will be a little more tolerable then if i put them together at adult size. When I was about 12yrs old i saw a 180g tank with 4oscars 2jags 3JDs and a few other smaller cichlids and the man told me they got along just fine because they were in there since they were little.

or would i need to balance out the jags temper with a red devil/FH and subtract the green terror?

your stock list looks a little like mine and i chose not to go with a jag.
