How big of a tank for..

[glenbo]

My Flowerhorn pair are starting to take control of the 100g

I am going to keep my Green Terror and Plec with them for the time being in a separated section.

How big will i need for this stocking long term? (all are juvis right now) will another 100g do the job? i have a nice space for one in my dining room.

The stocking needing a tank

2 x Rotkeil Severum (pair)
1 x Female Firemouth
2 x Female Jack Dempsey
2 x Blood Parrot
1 x Texas

I think 100 gallon would be ok for a while, but maybe something more towards 180 would suite your needs. Just my opinion...

I really need to stop buying fish lol.

i will probably offload a few of them, what out of my stock would fit a 100g? because i'm limited on space sadly, its going to have to be a 100g tall and long, rather than deep

i think a 125 would be alright, you would just have to make sure to keep up on water changes, and i would move that poor GT as well, he will be dead once those FH grow a bit more or breed, usually FH cant be kept with tankmates at all once mature

also i would get rid of one of the female dempseys

Yeah I dont think its even worth the attempt to keep a pair of FH's in a community setting.

2 x Rotkeil Severum (pair)
1 x Female Firemouth
2 x Female Jack Dempsey
2 x Blood Parrot
1 x Texas
Is really pushing it for a 100gal. escpeically when breeding presents itself. Id suggest giving the FH's a 75gal+ to themselves.

Then another 100gal for sev pair, firemouth, and 2 jacks, and 1 BP.

In my 80 I have all males. 1 Dempsey, 1 Fenestratus, and a blackbelt here soon and I think thats even pushing it for my tank size. I like to keep things safe rather than the fish having to eliminate each other. Good luck.
* I think your problem is you have too many Agro fish, and not enough tanks.

The Flowerhorns have a 100g all to themselves, they are only 3" so looking for another tank for the rest

Thats what i wanted to hear

I want to breed the Texas and Parrots with the Flowerhorns at some point, and the Texas is to beautiful to let go

So will probably keep the Sevs, Firemouth and Parrots with the Texas in a separator. and offload the Jacks because they haven't really grown on me like the rest have.

Then the Flowerhorns and Green Terror (in a separator) in the other tank

Sounds like a plannage

I was thinking of changing up the second tank again when i get it...i thought of a amazing colourful plan lol

How about this for a 100g

Gold Efaciatus Sev
my 2 Blood Parrots
