I cant make up my mind for the 150gallon

[Oscar98]

Ughhh! I cant make uo my mind for the 150g tank i am getting lol. First i want to try and breed festae but that would be two fish in a big tank. Now i want to do one "big" show fish and a bunch of other fish like firemouths and convicts.
#1
X1 festae
X1 tiger oscar
X2 firemouth
X4 convicts
Any replies and suggestions will be very helpful

P.s my mom just said no breeding pair because thats just two fish in a big tank lmao

And x1 jack dempsey

what about a gold saum aka green terror?

 

[Oscar98]

No, im not a green terror person lol. I had one but didnt like it as much as i like festae and oscars.

I wouldn't advise keeping a Festae and an Oscar in the same tank.

Agreed. Your show fish is either the Oscar or the Festae, it shouldn't be both. The Festae is much more aggressive out of the two, so keep that in mind when picking the tankmates.

I wouldn't do the red terrors with others. They get big and super aggressive. The Oscar and jack might work, but it depends on the fishes personalities. But I wouldn't put those three in a 150 anyways, that's just not enough room. I would reccomed a red Severum to replace the red terror. How about 1 red Severum, 1 electric blue jack, 1 fire mouth, and a couple big catfish

I agree with the other posts. Also remember that the smaller fish are meals for the larger fish sooner or later.

You may be able to keep Convicts with Festae as they are tough as old boots but probably none of the others.

Did I read that right? Replace a Festae with a red severum and an electric blue JD? Where's the unlike button.

Isn't a mature EBJD the equivalent of a unicorn or four leaf clover.

Darn near the equivalent, I won't bother them any longer. Things are as fragile as glass, I compare them to Santa Claus...you always hear about him but never actually see him in person.

Why not go for a small group of Vieja Argentea.Perfect for a 150 and beautiful fish.
