How big a tank

[dragonfish]

How big a tank would be needed to permanently house this collection of fish?
2-Oscars,3-tinfoils,dempsey,2-jurapari,pacu,black shark,clown knife,black ghost knife,fire eel,tiretrack eel,lima shovelnose, and a pleco. Just wanted to get some ideas from the people who keep monsters and then I'll tell you what they were kept in for a couple of years.

well some of the monsters you listed need huge tanks, if the pacu is a black, then probly like 1000+, is it is a red, then less, if you would keep a red pacu, and the rest of those, then probly like 8'x30-36"x25'+, so a large tank., and i would resommend you dump some of the monsters, ie, pacu, and black shark.

Yeah I'd agree lose the pacu get at least a 150g with some good filtration I think you would be happy for a while

They were kept in a 115 gallon and told this was good for life. Undergravel filters and no water changes needed.

Eat the Pacu. Sell the shark.


And you can get away with a 240... I'm suprised the jurapari are healthy with that JD in there to harass them.

Keep in mind the potential size of a CK........they hit 2 ft pretty easily.
