help needed!!!

[mon]

hey guys, i have a empty 3 feet tank and was thinking of what fish to buy...

i was thinking of buying a peacock bass, a spotted gar, a siamese tiger/indo tiger,

a oscar, maybe a red tail catfish, a few plecos...

do you think they will be able to live together in harmony...

anymore ideas what other combination can i have...

gal size or at least all of the dimensions will help

A tank 3 feet long? If you buy all those fish very small you will probably still have 1/2 of them left in a week and those will out grow that tank in a month. depending on hieght and width a 3'long tank sounds like a 55g and you could grow out maybe one of those fish for a while with a smaller pleco species or two but the spotted gar, the peacock bass, and the redtail cat all get to big for that tank.

Guppy a 55's front dimensions run 4' long not 3 if it is really tall I guess it could be 50-65...

A Gar can grow to 2ft long.

That tank size is stupid to keep any of those fish in you may get away with an Oscar if the tank holds 55Gal or more.

So i'd be asuming the tank would be at least 2ft tall 3ft wide and 2ft deep.

And a RED TAIL CATFISH !!! is this guy for real

Why don't you try and squeeze a GREAT WHITE SHARK in there too ....LOL

No way! Tank is too small for all the fish that you have mentioned. The only monsters you are looking at is at a pair of Convicts.

Hes from Singapore.. Those guys can fit fish into any space!

J/K.. Those are bad ideas.. Ever thought of doing a Micro-Predator community tank?

Ctenopoma
Spotted Pike Characin
Polypterus
African Butterfly Fish
Dwarf Pike
Butis Butis


These guys could make an interesting bunch.. Drop in the feeder guppies and watch them all FLY around and hunt

If it is actually a 55g, I would do the Pbass, a pleco, and a dat. Get them small and let them grow out.
