What kind of fishes do I have?

The last group of fish are Jewel Cichlids.
 
To keep all those fish in the same tank you'll need at a minimum at 180gal tank.

Yes, that is what would be good for you. If you have the time, read up on each of your fish. find out their aggression, Diet, type, and max size that they grow and you will see what everyone is saying.
 
Ahh, Jewel Cichlids, thank you, good to know.

The little time i invested here, i learned a great deal.
Thank you all for your responses!
 
i personally would rehome all the jewels. they can be mean little fish, and it is difficult to find compatible tank mates for them that would work in that size tank.

the larger tank, it looks like a 75 gallon to me. what are the dimensions? if it's a 75, you could keep two of the parrot hybrid looking fish (they look like hybrids to me) in there, but choose two that get along well and are smaller than the others. rehome all the others.

I only had 2, the rest are offspring.
I don't know anything about them and I just took over the tanks a week ago which is why i'm on this forum seeking advice.
The Jewel fishes doesn't show any aggression even though I read they are very aggression by nature.

In the bigger tank, they all get along very well, until the smallest one laid eggs and kept attacking everyone.
She was the bully in the tank. :(


18" x 48"
height is 22"

How many gallons is that?
 
that is a 75 gallon.

although all the big fish get along in the tank, the tank is not big enough to support them and give them a proper life. that is why i say keep two of them only - that would be maximum stocking for a 75 gallon. keeping them all will lead to water quality issues, along with more aggression issues when the one lays eggs again.
 
Would keeping 3 in one tank be pushing it?

Hmm.. . do you know how wide a 180g tank is?
