Out of what you want to keep, you could keep either one of the GTs, both the severums, and the cons.

Or you could keep the the 2 Gts, and the cons. (and maybe one of sevs but would require a lot of water changes)

You shouldn't keep a texas in a 75.

realistically you are only going to be able to keep 2 pairs of cons or pair of severums or a pair of texas or a pair of gt's in a 75.

He never established that the GTs or the Severums were pairs or not. If any of the fish are pairs then you are correct he would only be able to keep one pair in his 75. The convicts would be aggressive towards each other if paired up in 75. With out a divider there is not enough room for 2 con pairs to coexist without extremely high aggression levels.

As for the Texas, He could keep a single Texas in a 75 as a wet pet.

I take that back what I meant to say was you could keep a single tex in a 75. If you wanted a pair you would need a 90 gallon in my opinion.

I got a 20 gallon tank and for GT's there only 1 inch right now. But the problem with the 20 gallon is none of the fish stay happy in there they dont eat and just hide how can i fix this problem?

 

[convicts94]

And just wanna make sure its 75 gallon it's 48x18x20

I would start by getting rid of the Red Devils. They tend to get pretty aggressive towards their tankmates. Next, I would get rid of the Jack Dempseys. Once again, they will cause problems down the road.

This is all you can do.

1)2x Sevs

2) Wet pet GT/ pair/ GT Maybe a convict

3) Texas Wet pet/ texas + convict

4) JD pair/ JD + 2 convicts

5) single RD for about a year and a half... needs 6ftx1.5ft upon full growth

Any fish over 10 inch should not be in a 4ft tank IMO. It is not right to have a 12 inch fish in a 4 footer.

Holy war zone. Id put my money on the Tex being the surviviors.
But in all seriousness, All these fish are going to get big and mean. Ecspecially 4 red devils. Most people have a 75 for 1 devil.
I would pick your 3 favorite males and sell the rest. Any females in the tank the males will be much more proned to violence. Adult rd and tex are straight glass bangers and would probably kill and fight 2 other males in a 75. Id suggest 1 m dempsey, 1 m gt, 1 m sev , and the pleco. and maybe a male con but even that is pushing it.
