im getting a 100g very soon.and i was wondering if my plan stock would be suitable:

2- indo dats
7- clown loaches
2- common pleco
1- oscar

maybe a
jardini

im stil planing and this hasn't been done yet, dont know the sizes but will update if this works out. the dem on the tank is 6ft by 18" wide by 20' tall. sandy bottom very few driftwood and some caves.
any suggestions???

are you going to upgrade? or is this a "for life" tank?

just the oscar and pleco would create a huge bioload, i'd maybe leave the pleco out and go with an oscar/loaches and 2 indos. a jar would not fit comfortably in a 100g, maybe if it was under 15"..but they get to 30"+. the dats will need a larger tank in the future as well.

this should probably be in general aquaria.
 
upgrade, i chose the jar and oscars cuz im building a pond and once they outgrow the tank, i will place them on my pond.or any of my selection if they grow out, the pond is the place to be. the pond is going to be 2800g.

of, if you buy them small and grow them out, i say go for it.

just make sure you have some great filtration.

u dont have to worry about that. i got a very good deal on fx5. 2 for $230 brand new. for the pond, got my self a sand filter. LFS recommended the filter cuz one of them is helping me build the pond

i know, i have been hearing that they go for alot of money anywhere in the usa. i got them cuz my dealer is one of my best freinds.
