Hay,
Im wanting to know the absolute minimum size tank i could keep these big boys in.
1 Jaguar
1 Red Terror
1 Salvini
1 Midas/Devil
1 Green Terror
1 Featherfin Catfish
Im raising them from 2 inch pups and hoping for the best that it works out lol.
 
220+ depending on personalities. My guess is the jag and devil/midas will be hardest to get right, may have to try a few specimens
 
Sounds about right, maybe a 180.
 
Possibly a 125g but I doubt it. I don't think a 180g or 220 will help much because they only add 6" front to back and more heigth which is almost useless. Personally I think you would need an 8ft tank to have all of them as adults and have long term success.
 
I was. Going to say min. Of a 180 and not even that if you get an aggresive male of each of those cichlids you will have a hard time keeping them all in a 300. But it could work in a 180.
 
i think ur best to just go with like a 240. smaller may work but still. even that may not work if ur fish are aggressive but bigger the better.
 
The smaller you go, the more fish you will have to put in the tank = more filtration needed, and attention.
 
what do i need to take of from the list to be able to go in a 180.
 
There's no correct answer for what you need to remove. You might be able to have all of them. You might be able to only have 1 of them.
