Would the following fish get along in a 240 gallon tank

[vfrex]

240 gallon tank = 96 x 25 x 24

(1) - Oscar
(1) - Jack Dempsey
(1) - Midas
(1) - Common Pleco
(3) - Silver Dollars

The only big ???? would be on the midas. But with a 96 x 25 footprint, is that big enough to relieve it's hyperaggressive tendency that it takes in small tanks?

Also, what else would you stock with? I was considering upping the # of silver dollars, maybe trying a school of rainbows & some danios as target fish. Any thoughts?

yea man that will work fine.. no agresion... he might Nip if a fish gets in the way but he wont out right atack...

i would add 4 lined Pims..

good luck man.

allso filtraion is Fun with a tank that large.. did you ever see pics of the "Ugly" sump i made?? ahaha

its pimp

any ways have fun man

Yeah I caught that. I'm not good at working with stuff though. I could never make my own like taht.

you could try a Lima Shovelnose cat also. my specs are on the bottom of my reply, note the 8 ate fish though. the oscars are pretty easy going with the danios. the lima ate them all. gl with the tank.:p

how about like a dozen clown loaches and a few tinfloils

[vfrex]

Clown loaches scare me. Low salt tolerance, low medicine tolerance...I am not the best at healing fish.

I've seen many clowns with ich, which between an occasional nip from the dempsey or the higher waste content that's going to come with fish of that size, I wouldn't recommend the clowns. The 4-lines was a good idea, otherwise you could try some pimelodus. They're just as active with somewhat of a dalmation pattern going. Never stop.
