What is the minimum tank size for these four fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
umm change the red devil to a midas and you MIGHT be able to make it work in a 180 or 200g if you get individuals that get along (the bigger you go over this the better your chances), the O and GT may not be able to hang with the midas or jag as they are really on two different levels of aggression and how territorial they are. if you can get it to work this would be an awesome combo
 
For the Oscar, GT, and RD I would say 75-90 gal would be minimum individually.

For the managuense, I'd say 125-180 minimum (the fish can grow to 16"+ with time, so the deeper 180 would be a better option long-term).
 
I'm placing a Midas, motaguense(relative of the jag), GT and a Jd in a 300 and I'm probably pushing the envelope based on aggression, but there all going in at 4-6" so they will grow up together. My GT is questionable because they grow slow and she just isn't they aggressive. I would think you're going to need a pretty large tank to keep the GT and oscar from getting beat on. With cichlids you just never know

Edit: just saw you posted indiv. Probably around 100 per fish with the rd and jag needing a bit more
 
Individually you could realistically keep one of these in nothing smaller than a 55 gallon.

You might be able to get away with getting the oscar and GT in a 55. If you choose this route, make sure you get them at a young age and put them in the tank at the same time.

Edit: I've seen many tanks with and oscar and a GT.

Oscar AND GT in a 55g?! definitely not

anyways as for being kept individually GT would probably be alright in a 55g, while the O and RD would need at least a 75g and jag would do well in a 90g for a good while but would eventually need to be moved to a 120g (but most likely not for several years) and thats talking about all males female jag would be fine in a 75-90 for life
