WTF?! Seriously.........

Combining/repeating what a few have already said.....The bb and fh won't fit. Not near enough tank. A combination of gt, choc, geo, jack, a few sd, and the pleco would work. I'd eliminate the sal as well. If you went with a larger tank, you could probably add a few more of the sd, but you would need a much larger tank to add any of the others.
 
ok how about keeping 1 Terror, 1 jack, Chocolate, Salvini.

Would a black belt live with a flowerhorn in another 100 gallon?
Or do you have to keep Flowerhorns alone?

I know they are a hybrid of Veija Synspilum and Trimaculatum, Does that mean that Trimacs and Synspilums are super aggresive too?

Sorry I have read allot but Im a complete noob when it comes to Actually keeping and mixing centrals.


Basically I have a 105 Gallon and I want to keep a few nice big cichlids

I also have been offered a Red devil, and a dwarf crenicichla pike cichlid.

I think I need another 2 100 g's........
 
That's 4 reasonably territorial Cichlids in a 105 g tank....all Cichlids are territorial, some more than others. What are the measurments on the tank? I wouldn't risk those 4 together, or any 4 Cichlids in a 105 gal tank. Just my opinion, I don't want you to fail and that may be setting yourself up for disappointment.
I've never had a Veija or Trimac....but that's because I mainly keep Oscars and I know they're WAY more aggressive than Oscars and never wanted one bad enough to keep it in its own tank.
 
5 foot long, 22 inches tall, 20 inches wide. I guess I am to accustomed to keeping Africans where you can get away with allot of fish even though they are considered aggresive.

I was considering an oscar actually, but I figured they would grow too fast and dominate the tank. Altough they are one of my favs. Wonder how they would get on with a GT...

well I really want a Green terror, thats what started this whole thing. so basically I just want to have something in there with him. I love the black belts but I can see they are gonna be a problem already myself. They are just dominating at the moment.
I could live without everything else really, although The Flowerhorn I was looking forward to growing.

well Ive allot of thinking to do, thanks a million guys you've opened my eyes a little and helped alot.

Just one more question, if I did want to keep all those fish ie one of each. what size tank are we talkin?
 
Not sure about tank size so I'll let someone else answer that. But I do have an adult Oscar (female I'm pretty sure-she's bossy) with a 5 1/2" male Green Terror, a female Severum & 6 Silver Dollars in a 250 gal 8 ft tank and it works fine. The Oscar's the boss and the other 2 are fast enough to get away. I could've put the Green Terror in with the 5" Oscar (female also courtesy of a male Texas's reaction) in the 6' 125 g tank since she's plenty bossy enough, too, and could handle it. But I want to put a male Carpinitis in with her. People do have luck keeping GT's with Oscars a good share of the time. My male Tiger Oscar is just too passive and would get beat up. Depends on the Oscar and the GT, but you've got a nice chance of it working. Heck, you've got 4 GT's you could try lol
 
True lol, well I'll figure it out, trial and error I suppose, Luckily I work in a pet store so I can always rehome fish and sell them to a good home. I live in Ireland and although I look after roughly 10,000 fish in work alone, Monster fishkeeping isnt exactly a big hobby here (yet!) Iv'e plenty of experience with the usual fish, but after keeping Africans, community, coldwater, Discus, you name it I am naturally looking for the next level. Hence why I'm on this site! thanks man, I'll let ya'll know who finally stays and I'll post some pics too, when they get to a reasonable size. I'm already thinking of a bigger tank.....damn this hobby its so addictive!!!

Are flowerhorns really that aggresive>? damn

so what about my Jurapari's (Satanoperca)
Click to expand...
my experience says they arent, i have flowerhorns ranging from 1-10" before and all of them tolerated tankmates extremely well.
 
When they reach the size where playfull sparing ends and fin nipping aggression occurs I would keep, I would keep 1 gt, 1 bbc, 1 flwerhrn, and 1 jd. But even with keeping that many they still may need a bigger tank.
 
Satanoperca are actually very non-aggressive, especially compared to the flowehorns and some of the other suggestions
