General idea for stock of 42gal?

[ShadowBass]

Mmm well maybe 1 baby oscar and 2 red devils? Might be to small tho

As a growout, yeah

definitely too small for any one of those as adults, but as mentioned of course it can be a growout

wow sorry i was so irrigant...
my brother must have went on and done stuff..
ahhh hes to old to bash up..
anyway change of plans
it is a 3 ft tank with fluval 205 marble chip
i was thinking of 1 oscar and 1 gibbicep sailfin.
to small?

 

[Fry]

what are the dimensions?

 

[Lukee]

36"x 18X 16 i think or around there
definably 36" in length

Way to small, not just size but aggression. I would not put an Oscar and Red Devil in a 5 foot tank, let alone 1 Oscar and 2 Red Devils in a 46g.

If you want Discus i would get about 3 more and have nothing else in the tank.

 

[Fry]

given those dimensions I'd still go with my original recommendations

Two ideas:

- 1 Blue Dempsey
- 1 Senegal Birchir

- 1 Blue Dempsey
- 2 Clown Loach

 

[Lukee]

but could i put a gibbicep and oscar (both growout) in the tank?

 

[Lukee]

i heard bichirs need 90gal+

nope, some of them do get large, but most albino senegals stay around 10", normal senegals will get to around 12", and there are a lot of other species that would do perfectly in your tank!!!

I like Fry's idea, but i think that wouldn't quite max out your stocking, and you should have room for another fish or two.
