Potential new set up

[jbennett]

If I wanted to start anew, I was curious if anyone were to know if a jack dempsey, a jaguar cichlid, a red tail catfish, an oscar, and possibly a peacock bass would be compatible. I would start small with all of them.
I also have a piranha who is not compatible with anything and will eat anyone I put in there. If I were to try to find him a new home, won't certain pet stores buy it back?
thanks for any tips

short anwer is no.

how big is your tank?

 

[jbennett]

Well I know if I wanted any of those i would need at least a 70 gallon, so would any of those combos work?

I wouldnt do that unless I had at least a 200 gallon. Jaguars get 20+ inches in the aquarium and ive heard pbass need alot of swiming space.

 

[livebearerfreak]

in no way can you house all them togther unless you had a 400+ gallon or a pond. RTC will get to about 2 foot maybe 2.5 alone

RTC can get like 4', jags can reach 2' (supposedly, haven't seen one this big), I'm not sure how big pbass get but they will definatly outgrow 70g.

Seriously other than the jack none of those are good choices for a 70gallon.

all of the above are true; sorry . . . if you want to keep multiple fish, you're going to have to think smaller . . . I wouldn't get anything with an adult size greater than 6-8" . . .

yup, sorry bro. All of those are great fish, but you will need a huge amount of water to house them all. But you can get a 75 and house a collection of smaller monsters with similar characteristics or get a single oscar.
