A lot of variables for "wiggle room". All adult specimens of the fish you listed, with the exception of the dat, could live fine in a 6x2x2' 180g tank. The dat may be fine, I just don't know.

even if a ST the amount of years till it out grew that tank.... a 180 6x2x2 be ideal for life.... up your filtration a hair and a 150 5x2x2 be good too... shoot for atleast a 24" wide tank

thats more of what i was thinking than 300g's. the oscar is the smallest of them all but if its outgrows everything too quickly and ggets too aggressive its getting traded in.

you can do this in a 180 especially if you're getting some of the fish when they aren't full grown

what you said about the oscar is true, is there a way it can be added later than the others?

 

[INDK617]

they're all small now, except the ghost.

 

[vaine111]

i thought black ghost can get over 2' but i see now they only get 20".

how big is the ghost now?

 

[INDK617]

the ghost is like a foot now, much bigger than all the other fish.
