You a joke........It would be safe to know that you do have one species of fish you are capable of owning with that size of tank, the Convict Cichlids.....The Oscar needs a least a 75g-100g size tank to flourish on its own.......The Red Devil is a total tyrant, these fish are more of showpeices than community fish...........The peacock bass will need a larger tank to growout in, a 100g-125g(6foot long)..........For all these fish to co-exist within ione tank, you will need a 180g-200+ size tank........^^^ Agree, my one Oscar is too much for my 60 @ 10" long and my JD is too bossy for a tank that size even @ 7"
Your cons will like the tank to themselves everything else is way too big for a 60 gallon. Big male cons are some cool fish if you take care of them. Get rid of everything else or get more tanks for everything else before its too late.
