Ok look bro, the first time i read this i seriously thought you were a TROLL... but ill give you a chance to redeem yourself. there isnt much that i need to say that hasnt already been said. You said taking any of the fish back that you already have is not an option. Well your gonna need alot more than a 65 and a pond to RESPONSIBLY house the fish you have now!! And it looks like your just getting started in the fish game and i can already see the drool coming from you looking at all that the fish world had to offer. LOL If you dont gain self discipline and fast you're going to join the list of fish killers.

And no offense bro, but you seriously dont have any room to give advise yet. And no, a 180g will not house all his fish. just cause you can fit 100 fish in a 180g doesnt mean thats what you do!! I honestly thought you were learning your lessons with your previous stock??

lol u misunderstood what i meant , i didnt mean u can throw each type of fish in a 180 , i meant like any fish u buy can happily ylive in a 180 , like i meant a 55 hex is to small for a full grown jd but a 180 make sit happy , and maybe lets say he likes jaguars a 55 wont work , but a 180 will ,

I mean most big fish fit in a 180 , except like dovii is what i meant lol

Oh, ok then i apologize to you:) and yes a 180 would be more than enough for any "one' of his fish. If the "OP" researched the fish he has and the ones he wants, he will get alot better understanding for keeping them. It initially sounded like the OP new he was way overstocked but ye he proceded to post anyway expecting the responses which he got... hence the reason i thought TROLL. but everyone has to start somewhere and learn how to properly care for their fish, and I initially joined this site to see all the beautiful and learn as much as i can from all the expirienced fish keepers:)
 
Please stop buying fish for your current tank. You don't have the space in that tank and I don't care how much filtration you have. I think you should just chill a bit and start thinning down that tank ASAP. When I first got into the hobby I too went a little overboard but nothing to this degree. We are all probably quilty of overstocking. I currently have 11 Angelfish in a 90 gallon tank and seriously need to thin down my stock so I know what its like but what you're doing is never going to work and I just think you should realize that and remedy the situation before its too late.
 
your tank is overstocked a single oscar needs a 75 gallon tank a single jagware needs a 90 gallon tank and a single jack dempsey needs a 65 gallon tank. if you had a 180 gallon tank you chould keep all the chiclids and the pleco. no offense but please do not answer other peoples threads until you are better with aqarium fish. good luck!
 
Yes it's overstocked, yes the fish choices dont mix well, but the kid is apparently enjoying the hell out of his tank. I say more power to this young MFK!

My advice, work with what you got and upgrade when you get the chance!
