OK, So my stocking list is currently, 2 JD's, 1 GT, 1 Oscar, 1 Electric blue JD, 2 Firemouths, 1 Jaguar, 1 Frontosa, and 1 Senegal Bichir, my question is, will all of these fish fit comfortably in a 260g??........P.S. I'm also considering getting a Zaire Frontosa, so please take that into consideration as well.
 
As of right now, they're all juveniles around 2"-3" in a 55g (with the exception of the bichir 2", ebjd 1", and frontosa .5" in a separate smaller tank) and they're is no aggression, which is suprising cuz I was under the impression that the Jag was a Badass, but quite the contrary at the moment, and my big JD only shows aggression when he is challenged for his log
 
I'm ugrading next week, so i just want to make sure I wont have to buy another bigger tank further down the road
 
size wise i'd say your fine (although what is the footprint of the tank?) but i think eventually that jag will turn as it matures, and i think the firemouths and ebjd will be "at risk" tankmates
 
I am kinda "iffy" about the firemouths, with them only growing to half the size of everything else in the tank, and I've heard that ebjd's are quite docile and are pretty susceptible to being bully, but I figure worst case scenario, i could always set the 55g back up for them if they start getting harassed to bad, but I'd like to try to keep them all in the same tank, thats the reason I'm trying to make sure I have enough room for all of them to get along
