Help stock a 90 gallon tank

[scottv]

Does anyone know that growth rate of a jd, oscar, and jaguar?

The Oscar and Jaguar will grow 1" a month approximately until they hit around 8-9" and the growth will slow down until they reach full size. Within 1-2 years your Oscar and Jaguar should be at least 12". The Jaguars can hit around 12-16" in the average aquarium. Biggest I've seen is 18". They get up to 22" in the wild.

The JD grows a bit slower and will max out at around 8-9" average...I have seen Male JD's up to 11" though.



To tell you the truth...if your fish get along...and you keep the water clean (sufficient filtration and weekly water changes)...your fish could all live together in the 90 forever LOL. It might seem tight though.

I've had a 12" Oscar, 9" Flowerhorn, 8" Jack Dempsey, 5" Green Terror in a 90 gallon before. Oh yeah there were 2 10" Polypterus in there as well.....NEVER had a single problem with aggression but like I said, it depends if your fish get along. I had them in there for over 1 year until I got a bigger tank.

oscars grow fast but they are the least aggresive of the three, jds grow slow but can be nasty, jags are beautiful and grow moderate to the jd but can be very moody. i would say make sure the oscars are larger then the other two.

FOrget the jag or the devil, they will both want the whole tank to themselves. In my experience JD's are great companions for oscars, if I were you I would get an oscar, a JD, a bristlenose pleco, and 4 silver dollars. There, stocked!

agree with above... I mean you can put anything in with anything until one day it decides to kill something else. It could be tomorrow or tonight or sometimes 3 minutes or other times years...

Forget the jag,way too nasty,try a green terror instead.
