I'm looking to set up a 90 g with sajica,centrachus,cutteri, hrp etc,will be getting groups of juveniles.Can multiple pairs or males of these fish be kept in 90 G ? ,how would you do it?
 
in my experience too many male sajica beat up on one another, in a 90 should be able to have at least 2 males as long as you've got some hiding spots. but multiple females should be fine with them. (this is really for full grown from my experience :P)
 
I've kept pairs of different types of crypto's in a 75 (assume it is the same footprint as your 90), usually with grow outs of other species. I've had them breed and get to free swimmers, but never had fry survive. I think you could do a pair of centrarchus and one pair of the crypto's (hrp's would be my choice) with success.
 
I have a trio of cutteri and a male nanoluteus in my 75 with a bunch of other fish. They don't seem interested in each other. I had a small sajica in there too, but my catfish made a meal of him.
