Tank, Right now all I have in their is a red devil cichlid and a huge oscar and a very huge pleco. My question is if you all were me what else would you put in with them? I have two jack demespy and I have a green terror. I have those fish in different tanks but one of the demespys has to be relocated soon because he is starting to pick fights with the other one real bad ,and I knew this would happen when I got them but I just couldnt help myself they were so cute when I bought them. I have the two jacks in a 55 gallon tank and I have the green terror in another 55 gallon tank. I need some advice on which way to go I am not for sure if the red devil will get along with the jack D. or not. Just give me some advice on which way to go either buy some other fish to go in the 180 gallon or move one of the J D in with them. I want to start filling my bigger tanks I have four 55 gallon tanks with only a few fish in each of them. And that big 180 gallon with only three fish makes me sick to my stomach after I paid that much money for and I am looking at a empty tank almost.
 
doesnt anyone know anything about greenterrors and jack demespy and any other kind of fish, this has been here all day and no one has replied on this Thanks everyone..
 
well all I know is that red devils don't go well with much. You should post this in the cichlid forum
 
devils and oscars don't usually get on but thats a pretty big tank lol.

Try adding the dempsey and be there if they need to be seperated,
if that doesn't work your best bet would be to probably get rid of the devil (its hard cause there beautiful fish) and then you should be able to add a few more peaceful cichlids. Possibly some sevs or something that wont get bullied by the oscar but also wont bully him to much.
I'm not one hundred percent but the dempseys should be ok with the oscar in that large of a tank - without the devil.
If i were you and the cichlids were all healthy i would try a few combinations with what you have, just be wary of the red devil and keep the 55's running in case a fishy needs to be removed for safety or aggression.

As said above post in the cichlid forum for more (probably more correct) replies
