I know I just posted about my 200 gallon stock but just out of curiosity would a red terror, green terror, oscar and a jaguar fit in there? 183cm x 60cm x 70cm

Well... To answer your question they will FIT. But whether they kill each other is another question. I would not do it because difference in growth rates.

if you get a female red terror and female jag it could work if you get them all small and grow them out, get the oscar at a slightly larger size though..
 
Festaes grow super slow. When my male was a year old he was only about 7". Also oscars are big puppy dogs. They have almost no aggression and jags and festaes can be extremely aggressive, especially jags. It could work out if the festae is bigger than the jag but smaller than the oscar.
 
Ok thanks for the advice, i wasn't going to, i was going to get an oscar and a jack dempsey including the green terror and festae i already have. Do you have any other suggestions than the jack dempsey? Ive heard they can be slightly bipolar so I'm open to suggestions instead of a JD.
 
my male festae went from 2 to 10 inch in 11 months dude!-) lost him the other day along with the female when i had my cloudy water issue, theres a pic on that thread of the dead fish with a tape measure... just saying they dont all grow slowly.
 
btw my green terror is female as it layer eggs, i was surprised because its like 2 inches long and I'm pretty sure the festae is male due to the colour but he is only like 2-3 inches so I'm not sure. Idk if this changes anything.
 
jd will be fine mate. possibly a cuban or severum?
 
I was going to try and get a male jack dempsey for the colour but I don't really mind with the oscar plus I don't know how to tell.
