He needs to get rid of both of them, they get far too big for that tank. If he likes the look of the RTC, tell him to get a pimelodus. He could also replace the pacu with silver dollars.

well as i say i think i have got him onto the idea of replacing them with oscars :)
 
update!!! my mate is still a dick!!! he hasnt got a cat fish..... but is getting a red bellied pacu, 2 oscars and a jag cichlid!!!!! in a 180g!!!!

i think hes looking into getting them all from small, something is bound to get eaten!!!!
 
wow the jag will kill the Oscar when he get bigger.

would a jack dempsey or a green terror also kill the oscars?

Those fish Might work, especially if they grew up together. They are more aggressive than the Oscar, but not as big. The Jaguar is both bigger AND more aggrerssive, thats why the guys dont recomend that.

There is no certainty when you are mixing those big fish, they have individual personalties, but some things are almost allways doomed to fail, others almost always work.

At least he is starting to think about fish that can actually live in that tank.

RTC and PACU are the worst choices.... not only can 99% of people not house them but once you grow them up and want to get rid of them its impossible.... Killing them is your only resort. So get rid of the fish and tell your friend he cant even grow them up. Sorry to say this but most people are not dumb enough to buy an rtc, and only retards would buy a rtc bigger than a foot long
Possibly retards... Or possibly informed people with large setups like wet whiskers or justonemoretank ... JohnPTC Arapaimag... There are tons of people that house these fish responsibly.


OP tell him to skip the pacu , two oscars and a jag in a 180 is not that bad if he can handle the aggression.
