Could I Do This In A 120G

[GShorty1981]

I have been mulling this over for a while....Can i do this in a US 120g 4ftx2ftx2ft

1 x Oscar
2 x Severum
1 x Blue Acara
1 x Gibbiceps
1 x Large Bristlenose Plec

Tank Decor, just loads of Roots
Black Gravel, Black Background
Loads of Swimming space
2 x mature External Filters
2 x Heaters, 40% weekly water changes

Personally wouldn't put a gibby in any less than a 5x2x2 as they get to 24"

Other than the Gibby (as Indigo says) then you might get away with it, ensuring the Oscar is the smallest so grows with the others as it will grow faster than the others.

yeh i already have everythign but the Oscar and Gibbi, so i will grow it all up first.

Do Gibbis really get to 24" or is it just a possibility? i have owned them before and they tend to stick around 12" for a long time...but they get to 12" very very quickly.

I read teh average is around 15" and to fair even in gigantic tanks i have never seen one that looked around 24"...i have however seen common plecs exceeding 24" looking more around 2.5ft

Would a very fat old Bristlenose be ok with a Oscar?
