how many c/a cichlids could i keep in a 240g?

[mcyun1]

i'm beginning to realize i'm going to need a bigger tank to keep all the central american cichlids i'd like to keep. how many big specimens could i resonably keep in a 240g if the selection would include:

jaguar cichlid
midas cichlid
red devil
carpintis escondido
jack dempsey

i have small single specimens (1-2") in a 90g tank right now and wondering how soon i need to upgrade and how many of em could i keep in a 240g assuming reasonable aggressive/territorial behavior but no insane fish?

does the number i keep change if i attempt to form breeding pairs of any of the above?

thanks. based on resale prices on used aquariums in socal, i don't want to be "upgrading" too often.

It all depends on temperment of the fish. That red devil and jag might kill some of the more docile fish.

i think you could do that and more add another parachromis, a vieja, a red terror female, maybe a pearsei, and a bunch of silver dollars
