Required tank size

probaly closer to 180 but that fish combo might not work in the long run
Due to aggression.. even in a large tank? The flowerhorn grows the fastest, and I currently place pots and wire mesh mazes to deter the attacks to the rest. I think the poor Mayan hides the most
If you really want a good shot at a forever home for all those fish, especially if you have males, I would say more like 300 gallons. 180 would be a good size for a singe male managuense for exmaple, but I doubt it would be able to live peacefully with the others who also will get bulky and are all quite mean usually. 180 might last you a good while, but not forever imo. 300 will give you a good chance, but still no guarantees with these species.
or better yet just get a couple 125gs and call it a day might not be worth all the lost money for medication and treatments for beat up fish I would just separate them

is right though if you want to keep them together your going to need a huge tanks and it will still be hit or miss with aggresion
