90 gallon stock???
Im bored with community freshwater fish, so ive decided to switch my tank over to some bigger fish. I kno that a 90 gallon tank cannot fit to many big fish. Im thinking something like oscars, jacks, severums, etc.
I would like for the more experienced on here to let me kno what a good stock would be for my 90 gallon????
Im for sure going to get 5 or silver dollars.

If you were going to get 5 silver dollars is say you could put 1 Oscar in with it and that would be about stocked. Oscars are big and messy fish

Yeah, 5 SD and an O seem like a good list.
Also you could do a JD instead of the O, or do 3-4 Severums with some Cories.
Only a female Jag would work. Only 1 Oscar but maybe 2 if they are alone, compatible, and very well maintained. GT or JD leaves a bit of wiggle room, as they are a bit smaller. Severums could be housed with a variety of other fish, including some 5-6 inch cichlids.
If you're set on SD that affects things but not drastically.
Let us know what your favorites are and what you're really looking for in this tank.

There's no real way of saying if it will or not. I have a Oscar and jack Dempsey in my 240 gallon tank and they are fine. If you were going to try if say make sure you have a lot of places for each to hide and make sure the jack Dempsey has a cave of its own as they are territorial and the like to hide. Not because they are a whip because they like to be left alone and stuff they will not back down from a fight.
As I said before the Oscar is s huge bio load though

You could also go with a smaller variant of the silver dollars such as the spotted metynnis

I would say do a breeding pair of Jacks and do 5 silver dollars.
I wouldn't personally do an Oscar with anything other than the SD in that tank as i have firsthand experience on how extremely messy they are.

Yessir.
I wouldnt recommend Electric Blue JDs though. They usually have weak genetics.

Yep i like the regular ones too. IMO the EBJDs are brighter. But the often die and they are expensive so they arent worth it IMO

Hmm well that would depend on what you like. You could possibly try something like a nandopsis salvini. But I don't have any experience with salvini

Salvini will typically be too aggressive for a jack in that size tank.
