what would be a good tank mate with 3 baby oscars a 5 to 6 inch red pacu and a firemouth. i was hoping to get a couple of jack dempseys and green terrors and maybe even try to breed some convicts would these fish be ok with the fish that i have now? any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

they should be but the convicts get real nasty when breeding. it got so bad i had to take the oscars and the other convicts out. also the dempsy and the jewel fish too. the convicts were always beeting on the other fish and they really messed up the jewels fins with some other minor damage to the oscar the other convict and the dempsey.

Hi skatefan29,
How big is your tank, I suppose you may wanna have a 200+ G tank to accomodate all these.
Also be ware that you are trying to mix the Semi aggressive fishes like the Oscar pacu and firemouth with Super aggressive fishes like the JD Convict and Green terrors.

Once they grow up you may loose quite a number of these fishes if you mix these up.
