deadly decision?

[nighthawk2207]

I'm currently thinking of buying a

Jaguar Cichlid
Amarilo Cichlid
Texas cichlid(this is a last minute addition dont know how this fish will
fit in)
Tiger oscar(maybe albino or not dont know tho)
GT cichlid

what size tank?

I think it's for his 75....not sure though...

If it is, the oscar will be the first to die, quick. Especially if it's albino. Then the GT will get pinched. I'm only speculating, if it's a 75 and fish are average size...
They would have to be teeny tiny..

if its a 75 and fish are small it will work,
might work forever if your REALLY lucky
but the future tells me the jag will kill everything or most of the fish

 

[esparonisproud]

size tank?? jags do get pretty big u kno

 

[nighthawk2207]

well they will all be 2'' or so when bought (babies) first but Im currently trying to buy a 180 gallon would love a 265 but we will see what happens first but maybe I will just start with the Jag an Texas an Amarillo... soudns btter to me anyways.

 

[nighthawk2207]

Ok just the jag an Texas an maybe add the amarillo later if I can find one... Is a pleco always a def. thing to have kuz I think mine is not getting enough to eat around the tank since there is virtually no alge present.( I know alittle off topic but I dont want to post another thread for this one simple question)

Anyways a Jag an Texas cichlid will get along ok?

They will probably be ok when they are pretty small. They will most likely not be ok together in a 75 when they start to get some size on them.

Why don't you just go with something that you can have in your 75 forever, like an Oscar, Jag, or Red Devil/Midas?

Just one of the 3.......

Are you serious? Wow great advice...

It all depends on when you are planning to upgrade, a 4 foot tank really leaves them no room to get away from eachother when they start to mature and make/guard their own territories. As far as the Pleco, no they're not necessary at all. Common ones are actually really messy with the foot long strands of crap, and don't even clean all the algae like people think.. A good ol' algae scrubber will be cleaner, and make the glass cleaner as well.
