well Im looking for some opinions on if these two tanks can be put in to a 190 gallon

the story is i wanted to stock a 55 so i went n bought a bunch of fish{stock list two} i knew nothing about [this about 6 mnths ago].
since then i have been very active on this site as well as others learning about this hobby.
so i went out and bought a beat up 190 for stock list 2 to live in,
its now fixed up and ready to run

list one is a big oscar i grabed from a friend, he was living in a 10 gal at 10 inches big !!!! not very comfortable :eek:!!! so i would love to have this all worked out to one tank, i have my doubts, but who knows



Stock one
i calm 4 y/o 12'' oscar

stock list two

the below all live together with some aggression
1 6'' male convict

1 6'' male green tex

1 3'' fmale g tex

1 m n 1 fmale firemouth bout 2-3''

1 5'' male jd

2 2-3'' female jd


btw this tank will be filtered with a 30 gal w/d, w/ a 700 gph mag return
2 ac 110
and a cheapo jebo canister rated for a 110 gal

and a fair amount of hiding spot

... so any opinions
 
I would through them all in...
 
it sond like you'll be ok we have a similar set up and while theres flaring and aggression its not bad to te point of fins shredding . I think youll have flaring and chasing but thas about it.
 
I'm surprised your texas are not breeding yet. Are you sure they are male female? When and if they do start breeding you are going to have problems. I've never had any luck with texas cichlids. They try to pick fights with everything even if they can't win. When they are a pair with fry the rest of your fish are going to be cowering in the top corners of the tank. I would get rid of one of the texas and one of the Jacks and you should be fine.
 
i pretty sure the texas are male and female i bought the two at about an inch each one shot up to 6 inches the other is only like 2 inches so i assume the smaller is a female

i dont think there pairing because there only in a 55 there not alot of room

the texas is really the beast he messes with every thing
the convict keeps to him self, but kicks ass when needed
the other beast is the male jd but he only plays defence

the tank is 60 x 24x 30 if i remeber correctly

ill post pix
