Tank Setup

[JanC]

You could do one of each however, oscars are not that aggressive and may get bullied by the GT and JD. If it were me I would go with one oscar and one EBJD (not as aggressive).

Well the problem is I have to go for the JD, because I already payed 5EUR to keep one aside for me.

So im prolly going with the first idea. 1x JD, 1x O, 1x GT.
They are all 3 small and will have the space and time to find their own spot in the tank.

Small juvies and adults should get along well. There's a possibility that you might have problems in between, if some grow a lot faster than others and start bullying them. Keep an eye on them and add some target fish.

Thx for the info! They are all 3 still small.
Tomorrow the JD will be here, and gonna tell the store to keep O and GT aside for me, because tank didnt arrive today yet. Lets hope its here tomorrow or wednesday.

Could u tell me what u mean with "add some target fish"? Does this mean I should buy a weak fish where they can turn their agression to? So when my GT or O is bulleyed by my JD, I should buy a "decoy" fish?

yep something fast and durable to diffuse the aggression, but won't get killed easily.

Could u pls tell me what is a good species for a decoy fish?

There will also be 1 pleco.

EDIT: will a Acara species work?

I need some help here, I also posted this tank setup on a Dutch forum. But there they are telling me an O wont fit in a 125gallon and they also said the GT and JD shouldnt be kept as solitaire fish. So im kinda confused now. Thats why I have these questions.

1) will an Oscar fit in my tank 125 gallons?
2) is it bad to keep a Green Terror and Jack Dempsey solitaire?

Thanks for the help!

an oscar is fine in a 125 . and a gt or jd is ok solitary as well .
sounds like the dutch have some strict guidelines !
also , many people like , silver dollars as dither / target fish .
