do u guys think i could keep a wolf cichlid, peacock bass, jaguar, pike cichlid and a plesco together in a 200 gallon tank? i currently have a 55 gallon tank with a baby peacock and a baby pike. and a 2O gallon tank where i breed fancy guppies for feeders. but am in the market for a 200 gal for my fish when they hit 5 inches. and will convert the 55 into a breeding tank for larger feeders. tell me what u guys think.

I'd try posting at monterfish.com (follow the banner add) or PM aquamojo (he keeps big predators. Saying whether all those big (and in the case of the wolf and pike VERY aggressive) fish will get along is tough. Alot depends on individual personality of the fish, how young they were when introduced together, aquascaping...... My gut feeling is no, not all of the ones listed could be kept together. But hey I do micro-predators, so what the hell do i know. :joke:

Short answer is no...a 200 gal isn't anywhere near big enough to house all those fish.

agreed with slappy... a wolf fish should not be housed with pretty much anything but another wolf. A peacock bass grows almost 3'.... a pleco is a pooping machine esp the size of one that would be able to hang with the big boys. Jaguars are meaner than snot and I dont know anything about pike

Pikes are also extremely aggressive.
