I want experienced answers if possible. I need to consolidate to make things easier, or just get rid of some fish.

Stock list.

2 14inch Oscars
3 12 inch endii bichirs (jumpers)
4 6-8 inch green severums (possible jumpers)
1 16 inch plecostomus
2 7-8 inch synadontis eruptus The two fight.

I have 1 tank I want to put all them in. Its large enough I just need to know if you think it will work or not. If they all work then the rest is easy.

6 red top hongi
1 compressorceps
6 lfabn and bn
1 pelvichromis pulcher.
1 lionhead
1 clownloach

I am needing to get things more manageable for the time I have. Input is appreciated, if its negative, just dont post.


Tanks,
160 gallon
55 gallon
40 gallon
2- 30 gallon
1- 20 gallon
2- 10 gallon
1-5 gallon

Always extremely over filtered.
Thanks in advance.

the compressiceps needs to go, no way it allows those fish to live lmk if you decide to rehome

i just looked at their size, it might be ok

no they are just usually really agressive

Hes the smallest and least aggressive in the tank at the moment. I never see him do anything but mind his own p's and q's.

No offense, but you want us to tell you it will work. If we don't think so, then don't say anything?

Not what I am saying. The senseless arguing that happened when I first came here, that I wont listen to. Constructive, is fine. Degrading bs that no one wants to hear kinda stuff.

Are you asking whether all those fish will fit into your biggest tank?

No. I want the Oscars severums, bichirs synadontis eruptus, and pleco in one. After that, I can easily deal with the rest. If any in that mix wont work, I want to know before there is a single loss.

I'm curious. Which fish are in which tank currently? How many tanks do you want to end up with, all of them or just some of them.? If some, which ones?

Since I've only kept a few of those fish, I'll just sit back and wait for the experienced keepers to post their recommendations. I just thought I'd ask for clarification to keep things simple.

My only other comment is that I thought Clown Loachs were supposed to be kept in multiples. I think I might rehome him to someone with a few so he could reach his full potential and be happy with his own kind.

Best wishes on your plans.

Can the bichirs go in with the oscars? Just curious. :confuzeld:

Then you could have your 160, the 55 and one tank of marmakrebs.
