I'm Getting A New Tank, Can These Fish Go In It....

[phil_ip]

I'm getting a 1 year old 135 gallon tank (72",18",24"), I would like to keep the following fish in it:
*1 Oscar
*1 Firemouth
*1 Nicaraguan Cichlid
*1 Severum
*5 Silver Dollars
*1 Pleco
*1 Synodontis Eupterus
The filtration is:
*1 Fluval 304
*1 Fluval 404
*1 Filstar XP3
*1 Penquin 330

I'm getting all the fish, filters, tank, stand, canopy, lights, etc. All for only $350.00

Is the fish list good, how about the filtration?

Hi,

Well it looks like your filtration is certainly adequate for a 135 gallon tank, and it looks like you got a really great deal on that setup, wow. I'm by far no expert on the fish but from what I know I would say that your selections are fine, but I'll leave it to the more qualified members to either confirm or deny, regardless grats on the tank and good luck.

IMO you should be fine, but the only problem i see is that you want to put an oscar with a severum, the oscar can be very aggressive or can be fairly passive, severums are normally fairly passive and are not that aggressive, i would take the severum out of the tank setup, if you decide to keep him in then you should just keep an eye on him cause with that much space you may be able to get away with it but its questionable. with eveything else you should be fine, and you have more than enough filtration.

my personal opinion-- nicaraguans are more fun in pairs. maybe you could have one less silver dollar and add a second nic.

I agree with everything except like tightdog said, that sev and oscar mix could get nasty or could go well, thats the only iffy I see
