i have a 125 gallon american cichlid

all is juvie for the moment

-Albino oscar
-2 jack dempsey
-2 midas
-1 jaguar cichlid
-1 peacock bass
-1 pictus catfish
-1 common pleco
-1 red lobster

What do you think of my tank?
a oscar is fine in there
2 jack dempseys seem fine
2 midas i think you will have problems
1 jaguar cichlid, you should end up with problems
1 peacock bass will need more bigger of a tank
you need more than one pictus catfish they are very social
1 common pleco should be fine in a 125G
im not sure on a lobster..

overall conclusion: Will have problems when they all get bigger..personally i think most will need to be moved..
 
It would be really kool if they all get along for forever. But from what I've read from ppl's experience on here and my own ex., it seems like the oscar,and JD's seem ok at first. = Usually, until they come into the time when they are old enough to breed. Then they get nasty! But when they are much older, then they seem to calm down again. But you never know until you try it with your own I guess! :D Good Luck with all of them. :D
 
Will also depend upon if you get any pairs out of your stock... That could increase aggression considerably. All males have a better chance of getting along if no females are present (that's life, eh? :D).
