mixing big cichlids

[balton777]

ok so what would be over stocked in a 180 what about a jag 1mota 1red or green terror 1 midas 1jack dempsy and what about a catfish like a sun catfish or something

Those might work except the green terror. Imo, it'll get owned once they all start to mature.

 

[dovii88]

yes

ok could there be any more fish in there

Grow them out together yes. But i wouldn't recomend to many more cichlids as tankmates, throw in a Midas or something. Make sure there are plenty of dithers to take the aggression and maybe a couple of plecos.

definetly agree with dithers! but i dont kno bout plecos! theyd make good dithers and whatever but they leave behind huge amounts of biowaste! so you could have plecos but u'd need a lot w/c

just because that many fish will fit in the tank and its true they could spread the aggression out (unless they decided to just go down the line weakest to strongest) your fish arent goin to be nearly as happy or healthy pick a couple you like add some interesting dithers and cleanup crew and enjoy

well come to think of it that might be a good idea i just thought that to have big cichlids with others you need alot of them so could this work
1jaguar
1jack dempsy
1 mota
1or more shovelnose
pleco and some kind of dither
