What do you guys think of this stocking for a 100g 60"-18"-24" tank:
1 tiger oscar
1 electric blue jd
1 or 2 blue acaras
1 pleco
2 pictus cats(maybe)
anyone know any cool schooling fish besides silver dollars that would work?
 
that'd be OS IMO. your pleco is going to take up every inch of bottom space as an adult, and your O there doesn't leave much room. best off with just a pleco and an O. also, a common pleco may outgrow even a 100G. if you want a pleco that gets to a good size, but won't outgrow the tank, try a trinidada pleco. they get to about 12". so, an O and a trinidad plceo is what you should get IMO.
 
an o and pleco only in a 100? Im sure i could fit more than that.
 
o yea and its a leapord hi fin pleco, which get about a foot.

oh sorry, you didn't specify. I still think the pleco will take up most, if not all, of your bottom space. maybe 1 raphael cat? you might try a giant ramshorn snail. hrm.... besides the oscar, I think you may have room for a jack demsey or an acara or two.
 
Yea, the pleco will take most bottom space, he'll propably be the only bottom dweller. I think ill get a jd, o, and and some schooling fish if i can find any that wont get eaten.

nope, just get a JD, O and the pleco. the only schooling fish off the top of my head that wouldn't be delicious to them or that they wouldn't beat the crap out of would be SDs, and if you want those you can't have the O.

Not a thing if you want them to be the only fish in a tank that size. Sounds to me though that he wants more then a couple fish.
