So I'd like to have the following fishes:

Angels
Rams
Firemouths
Convicts
Oscars
Blood Parrots
Severums

I already have one tank setup:

55 Grow-out (these will all be moved to a 90)
2 Blood Parrots
2 Firemouths
2 Convicts
1 Jack Dempsey
1 Zamora Wood Cat

As for the others, I was thinking maybe:

100ish Gallon
1 Oscar
~2 Severums
1 Catfish (suggestions)

And then maybe
55 Gallon
2 Angels
2 Rams (bolivian?)
1 Firemouth
6 Cories


Any additions or subtractions? Any flaws?
 
personally, I would not keep firemouths with angels.
 
^^ I agree ^^ Firemouths can be aggressive and would most likely dominate that tank. Plus it would ruin the SA theme of the tank.
 
Well I recently removed one of the Firemouths from one of my tanks because it was getting torn up. Once I move the Central Americans to their permanent 90 gallon home, will there be a way to reintroduce this Firemouth? Should I maybe get a bigger tank and add more Firemouths? I keep hearing conflicting accounts on how to handle aggression with these fish, so I just wanna get that settled.

After being introduced to a new tank everything is restarted. You can try to "re-add" him then.
 
I realize that this is an old thread- but if the firemouth is big enough and the oscar is small enough, you could try 1 firemouth, 1 oscar and 1 severum in your 100G.
