Well my other thread was getting cluttered so I'll just ask this, could this work?

4 ocelli pbass
1 Red Terror Festae
1 Jaguar Cichlid
1 Royal Clown Knifefish

The tank is 8'x3'x2'high with plenty of hiding spots with driftwood and such but i was just throwing ideas out there and this one sounded good
 
It could work, but I dont know about long term. All those fish will get pretty big, and then room becomes and issue, and with this aggression becomes and issue. I dont see it actually being bad to try, but rememeber that aggressive fish become more aggressive when they dont have alot of space.
 
I think I would take out the Festae. IME the jag would more than likely be more tolerant of tankmates than the Festae. I had my Jag in t=with my Pbass for a while with no problems, and only moved him out to breed.
 
you dont think 8' is enough space? And the festae is the one that is one the bubble so if he was removed could this work?
 
i have a 6 foot tank with one 5 inch festae and has 1/3 of the tank to himself never leaves this area not much tolerated in it either

I think you have a better chance of it working.

Agreed...i had 6 Oscar's with a jag for a while. in till the jag jumped from the tank. But, a jag is pretty chill when growing up with other fish.
