What to with my tank?

[Reptilesfishbirdsmammals]

oscars sound pretty nice. how many can i keep in my tank i do a sc hool of SDs?

dont do a oscar they need plenty filtration water changing and idk i just wouldnt suggest it..but for 2 oscars you need like 125Gallons..its a rough guess imo..but i do know 75Gallons for 1 oscar but why not do like convicts, firemouths, salvini, green terror, i believe you can do 1 midas but yea um..good luck on whatever you choose..

ok i've decided to keep a gt with my stock. Although i want a GT that is.. well a tough guy. I want him to own the tank. but not to a extent where he will attack the other fish to severly.

I have spare 55g just in case. Anyway how would i get a GT like what i described? Do i just buy a any GT and see if it turns dominate, or do i buy a group of them and wait for one to turn dominate?

So the stock will be:
Severum x1
Green terror x1
Firemouth x1
Silver dollar x4

All of them living in a 60x18x27 tank peacefully.... i hope

To find a dominate GT you can simply observe the tank you're purchasing from as those traits can been seen even in the pet shop. However, purposely getting one that is aggressive might not be the best idea. In any case the severum is going to be the most delicate fish of the bunch so it would be best to either find one at a larger size than the other two or to purchase it first so it has time to grow before adding the others. The firemouth will likely be the most aggressive at small sizes so that one should be gotten last or at least a little smaller. Overall I'd buy the GT that looks the best and simply hope you get one that is neither too aggressive or too wimpy...although I've never met a wimpy GT

i honestly think if the gt is male it will terrorize most of your fish... it will get 12 inch and will probably mess with everyone sooner or later.... it could work for a while but once mature the gt will own that tank.... i suggest you get fish of similiar aggresivnes and size the fish you want to keep are no where near on aggresive level as the gt..

The stocklist you said you wanted to go with would be fine, just make sure you get a Severum with some size to it as they're the least aggressive fish on the list. I'd suggest getting the SD's first, after a week or 2 add the Severum, then in another couple weeks add a smaller GT and then in another couple weeks add the Firemouth last. By doing it that way, you allow your filter to mature and hopefully deter aggression. All great choices to me, they would all look quite different and add plenty of color and personality to your tank.
