hi im new hello my names brad and i own a 5 foot marine tank

and have just brought a 8.4 footx1.5x1.5 foot tank, i know its not a monster tank but hey, i want some big tropical fish, heres what ive come up with

ill be running a 3 ftx12inchx12inch sump

and heres a list of fish id like to have

1 x oscar
1 x common plec
1 x green sev
6 x silver dollars
3 x rocket gars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x Nicaraguense
 
With your other stock the rocket gars are going to get mutilated. I think everything else CAN work, but you might run into problems mixing all of the cichlids. Also keep in mind on what everyones mature sizes are going to be, and if an 18" deep tank will be fitting.

For the LSN it's too short and the Gar, and do you mean Manganese(Sp) AKA Jaguar

Rocket Gars get like 12" max, but would not be able to handle the aggression of the other fish.

Nicaraguense is a different cichlid, not a mana..
 
yeah sorry i meant to leave the rocket gars out as my lfs had already told me that
with these
1 x oscar
1 x common plec
1 x green sev
6 x silver dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x Nicaraguense

is there any other big fish i could have

(except like eals snakeheads )as my dad hates snakes
 
I'm not sure about the Oscar, personalities can range from placid to ultra aggressive.
 
with that tank size it could easily house an arowana without problems.
