90 gallon stocking questions of compatibility

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If you want to do pairs, I'd leave out the firemouth ... if you want to do singles, the cutteri, rainbow and firemouth should be fine.

Instead of a green or gold sev, I'd see if you can find a Turquoise ... even though they are now considered the same species as greens, at one point they were considered a differant species mainly becuase of the size differance in adults. Turquoise generrally are smaller than greens.

If going for pairs, I'd stick to one sev. If doing the 3 singles, two turquoise might work but probably only if they pair. Adults usually don't like each other very much of any type.
 
Your list looks okay to me, but if you want an oscar and a chocolate, I think that a 90 is plenty for that. I have an 8 inch chocolate and two 10 inch JD's in a 75 right now with no trouble. I think the list you have produces the same bioload as an oscar and a chocolate. Both that and your list sound great to me.
 
thanks for the great advice everyone! you guys (and gal) are great. ive been thinking over those damn sevs all afternoon-and i think that i agree that two of them would just beat eachother to hell and back when they are larger-plus each one will be around 8 inches a piece! i cant find anyone right now that has turquoise sevs-not even aquabid lol..
so, ill cut them out unfortunately.

have any of you had any experience with cryptoheros nanolutrus? they are beautiful, and dont get very large-and arent very aggressive. the only downfall i see is that they are fragile and die easily lol.. (ok that could be a big downfall)

im going to stick with singles-since my tank isnt that big, and i think it will help keep breeding issues and aggression to a minimum..

ill definately keep you all up to date, and when i get the little ones ill post pics of them and their new home! thanks again everyone-i really appreciate it.. Mel
 
the rotkeil is definately a beauty! ill keep one in mind-thanks!
 
yeah ive fallen in love with the sevs-i saw the thread you all did with everyones pic in it and thats what got me thinking of them.. i really like that rotkeil alot, and i think ill try to get one of those, if not then either one of the green or golds look nice too.. thanks for your help tankboy! (and everyone else)
