I have a 4x2x2tank with 2 6inch oscars 2 4.5 inch green severums and one 5.5inch Jaguar. My question is really can these fish all be housed in the same tank for life.
 
Oscars and Jags get really large. We are talking 16" here for male Jags.

120 is good for a single full grown male Jag.

120 might be good for 2 full grown Oscars, maybe. These fish grow like dogs lol

But all 3 full grown. 120 will be too small.
:D

The Severums grow pretty slow, least mine does, so they might be ok left in there for now.

It's a 120 gallon, and no.

:thumbsup:

They could be kept in the same tank for life... but not your 4' tank...

PS - Is your tank a standard 75 gal (48" x 18" @ 22" tall) or a 4' x 2' x 2' (120 gal)?

I measured it its 4x18x22 Any stocking Ideas what can be left with a Jag in the tank.
 
Probably just the jag...

Yeah that's a 75 gallon.

That might be too small for a full grown jag.

In all actually you could grow what you have in there now, and in the meantime look into purchasing a larger tank if you wanted to xfer. That's prob what I would do, since you already own all the fish.

Nothing wrong with upgrading tanks, that's part of the hobby. And you already have a good reason to do that.
:D
 
your tank is probably more like 4 x 16" x 2
4 x 2 x 2 is like 120 gallons.

and you could only doo the 2 O's in that FL!

you'd need something like 180 gallons - 6 x 2 x 2 to house that stock list for life.
that's probably the minimum.
