Suitable tankmates

[pwmin]

I think having a big oscar actually helps with the aggression. They can usually hold their own but are not usually aggressive to others.

RT, jag and tex is a decent possiblity w/ a GT and O. Midas and Trimac are highly questionable. There are always differences, but generally, that's what my opinion is, even if it's worth only 1 cent instead of the usual 2.

It may be better to stay away from the really aggressive cichlids; red devils, trimac, midas, etc. I don't have any experience with mixing lots of cichlids in huge tanks though. I think GT's, Jacks, Oscars, Parachromis species besides Dovii (Loiselle, Freddy, Mota) possibly Jags, etc.

Jack Dempsey, Convicts (my Saum loves chasing my convicts but they totally hold their own), Blood Parrot, maybe Midas, Jewel

The whole Idea is to have a tank full of really stunning aggresive Cichlids like the green terror or red terror, I just have to do some experimentation! The most aggresive Cichlid I've experienced so far is the Tilapia butterkofli, He even chews the glass when I walk by.

I have a GT and JD in a 120Gallon tank, In my 35 Gallon I have 4 Oscars (2,5 ") the GT and JD is approx 3" each. Will my oscars be fine if I add them on this size?

My oscars got OWNED by my centrals (cons, JD's).

You may have some luck adding them at that size, but I wouldn't.

I'd wait until the Oscars are larger.

If you put that single fish in the tank it will be killed in 24hrs unless you rearrange the decorationstake the f original fish out & place them all in the tank together.any new fish in the tank will be automaticly singled out by all the others & it won't stand a chance

To the original poster in that size tank(about 530 g.) you can put a single Midas,& trimac(as a pr. or these will destroy the other fish if they decide to spawn. Try to single sex of similar species ie. red terrors,midas,trimacs will hybridize. Otherwise you should be ok with the green terrors,oscars,etc.
