I am considering buying a 375g tank. I would like to have a variety of fish. I would like to have 1 Tiger Oscar, 1 Peacock Bass, 1 Jack Dempsey, 1 Sun Catfish, 1 Blue Crayfish, and 1 Pleco. Do you folks think this would be a good mix of fish? Or, am I wanting too much?
 
bad setup in my opinion, but hey my opinion is not footing the bill... all im saying is after a month or 2, consdier that blue crayfish Bait for a nice peacock bass... Get a Tank of Dats, and a nice Yepezi stingray!
 
I agree about the crayfish. You would have the room to have many larger fish in that tank. Such as an aro, or knife, or stingrays, or large cats. Is there a reason you want the pleco, or are you intending to get it just as a 'clean-up' fish?
 
you should research a little more... the pleco will not thrive in a new tank unless u feed it.. perhaps start with a smaller tank, and then move the fish into the 365 once theyre grown up...
 
Yes, the pleco would be a "house keeper". That is why I was also wanting the Blue Cray. I have heard of blue crays growing to over a foot in length. I would not think a Peacock Bass could eat anything that large. I have a couple of small tanks 1 with a 4 inch pleco and the other has an eight incher.
 
Im tellin you IMPOSSIBLE, besides unless you bought a"foot long crayfish" and put in a baby bass the bass is going to outgrow it VERY fast and eat it... but hey, live and learn have a ball!

hahaha ok good for you.. good luck finding a foot long one...

also i dont know why u ask for advice, if u get so defensive on ur idea...

HAve a great fish life
 
I like the Peacocks and Oscars. I'm not into the aros. I would like to have a Red Tail Cat, however, a 375g tank would not do a 3 foot long RTC justice.
 
i have 3 peacock bass with 1 small crayfish,been there for a long time.
give them cover and there fine "i have a pile of rocks".mine even comes out with no trouble.
and my pleco eats raw shrimp also.

I like the Peacocks and Oscars. I'm not into the aros.
