Oscars, Severums, Terrors, Oh My!!

[musichead707]

I was wondering if 2 Adult oscars, A Green and Gold Severum, and a Green and Red Terror could live happily in a 240 gallon Tank 72x31x25. Along with maybe a couple of royal plecos and 2 Lima Shovelnose cats.

nope, the Festae will eventually tear everything up. male or female they are both wicked mean and females are even worse. and depending on the attitudes of the other fish it could be just as bad. you could try with the others but I wouldn't try the Festae in that combination.

festae would be the red terror ?' JuanV , is that right ?


What if he lost the greenie as well, and went for uarus and blue acaras ?

don't mean to hi-jack , just want to help .

yes a red terror is a Festae, the GT shouldn't be too too much of a problem the size of the tank should defuse the territory issues that will be there. as for the uarus alot of that depends on the species that goes in there but the one good thing about that is is that they are all pretty much the same and need very pristine water. but are an interesting group of fish.

ok, thank you very much, so the severums and oscars will be ok right?

so long as there are places for the sevs to go and get away from the Os I don't see a problem really there shouldn't even be the need for a place for the sevs to go as Os are usually pretty good
