stocking a 200g

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ok so just to be clear you want to have:
3 Os
2convicts
1 Gt
1 Jd
1 chocolate pleco
1 argentea
2 istlantum reds
1 carpintis
(just to make sure iv got your stock correctly) but yes this would probably be ok in 200g with ample filtration will be a bit crowded though so will need great deco to ensure that everyone has their own little territory so wont fight as much, of course bigger is always better and you could probably do a lyonsi with that stock if you upped to a 240 though i still think rehoming at least one of the Os would make everyone more comfortable and if your Os are a pair then i would do only 1 istlanum so that you dont have 2 breeding pairs in the same tank
 
ok, if they are a pair im will probably get rid of one that is part of the pair, i don't want to try and get rid of all the oscars. but ya there will be plenty of filtration. it might be a little pack but my oscar don't really have a territory right now.they just swim freely and when they sleep they sleep in a group anywhere they can lay.
 
yeah i mean Os are awesome fish and are gentle giants but they do take up a lot of space in a tank but yeah i think if you keep all the Os then def do the 240
 
Go for a plywood tank, i have a 240gal plywood tank they are better insolated and lighter to move. It also costs alot less i paid $800.00 I currenly have 1 female jag, 1 male Green Terror, 1 Cuban, 1 Trimac, 1 Salivini. Its really hit or miss with any aggressive species. Goodluck tho!
