Alright so I recently got some tank pairs going. Pair of jack dempsey, pair of blood parrot, pair of flowerhorn, and pair of oscars.... Will they all live peace?
Tank mates for 55g
- Thread starter Bxdr
- Start date
all in a 55? not a chance, if you keep em all together through everything you'll most likely end up with a single flowerhorn and everything else dead
NO chance tank way to small, the oscars,jd's and bp's could be housed in a large enough tank say 180g. But the fh's to aggro for them imo.
Get them a 55 each and sell the babys to cover your costs of setup! (don't sell your nicest babies though!)
pair of flowerhorn are to big for a 55g i would sooner stuff the oscars in there. pair of jd or pair of bp only.
yeah, hope you didn't buy those fish cause soon you will be in over your head. my suggestion like others is to either keep the jacks or parrots in that tank or you could get like a 150 and leave out the flowerhorns. a 55 gets real small real quick for an oscar.
Here are your options if you want your fish to live, and live somewhat happily.
-Choose ONE flowerhorn and nothing else
-Choose ONE oscar and nothing else
-Pair of JD and nothing else
-Pair of Parrots and nothing else
I'm not trying to sound mean, but things WILL die in this set up. You have way too many, LARGE fish in a tank that size. You could have a HUGE tank (300+gallons) with those same fish and you'll only have 1 flowerhorn alive after some time. I virtually assure you.
