I just bought a 210gal Tank set up. Would this be big enough for 2 cichla's and 2 oscars? If so, what else would you recommend for the tank? (for fish)????
 
Youll be ok in that tank for a good while..
 
how big are the Ps? and oscars?

i've got mine in with all kinds of cats, a large CK, and a big aro
some people do gars?

IME, pbass get along with just about anything, so stocking is really up to you
 
its gonna last you awhile!!! what are the dimensions and how big are the cichlas that your looking to pick up?
 
it'll work for a while. Dats are always cool.
 
Well,,, There are small about 2.5" all of them. I havent set the tank up yet, but im going to do so in the next few months. I just wanted to know what all of you thought.

What fish would be a good natural fish set up in that tank?

If by natural you mean native, about the only fish you would be able to do with those fish is Gar or Largemouth bass IMO. Largemouth grow very fast, so you would have to also have a fast growing species of Cichla like Monos. Alot of mixed reviews on mixing Cichla and LMB though. Ive got an Oscar and a Firemouth in with my Cichla and I have few issues. Some expected chasing and head butting but nothing serious. When my 350g is fish ready I will be adding a LMB to the mix. If he doesnt work out, oh well. Use driftwood in the tank. Your South American fish will love you for it.
 
dang yall are making me want to set up another tank with pbass in them
 
I guess i was just wondering what would not only look good together, but live well together. The tank is 7'x2'x2'. I have been told many times that i should get a longer tank that shorter and it should be at least 6' long soooo thats what i got..
