like title says what is the biggest fish you can keep in a 6ft 135 gallon tank
fresh water
i was thinking a jag cause they get to be 16inch no?
idk give me ideas
cause i want something thats going to fill up the tank look like a moster haha
but i dont want it to suffer ether in the tank so somthing that maybe can due well in a 6ft

I think the length isn't what limits the fish as much as the width...

For example; you could have a 6ft tank, but if the front to back is still only 5" your going to be rather limited in what you stock in there...

very true ok well the tank is a 6ft by 19inch by 24inch

Go with the JAG!

with is 19inch sorry i just threw mesurments out there with out saying which is which
so 6ft L x 19inch W x 24inch H
a jag?
what length will it get and how long will it take to get there?
theres also an oscar in the tank and a pleco
so tank looks really empty right now
i got the oscar cause every one says they get huge but
come to find out they reach 11inch on average
not very big but still lovly fish haha

Really depends on what sort of a fish your looking... i mean with an oscar in there your going to be limited to fish that he won't / can't kill... so maybe you could do a cichlid tank possibly??? since i'm guessing with the 19" limit you'd want fish that won't exceed say 15" - 16" to give them ample turning space...
