Stocking For 100 Gallon

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

I'm getting a 100 gallon tank in a few months and was wondering what you guys think about this stocking for it..

1 Tiger Oscar
1 Convict
1 Firemouth
12 Tiger Barbs
3 Pictus Cats
2 Bristlenose Plecs

I'll probably run 2 Penguin 350 Biowheels and always keep up on my weekly water changes. Think this will work?

How big to tiger barbs get? im thinking the oscar may well eat them when hes big enough.

Tiger Barbs get 2.5" usually and the filteration won't be enough, throw on another one of those filters and you'l be getting 1050gph and you might be ok, oscars produce lots of waste same with plecos

Tigers are pretty fiesty and like to school, so it wont be easy for the O to eat them. But if they do happen to get picked off every now and then its not like they're that irreplaceable.

I have 2 oscars, and one is only a little bigger than the other, and they push eachother around a lot. All personalities are different. But still... I'd consider replacing him.

I would recommend getting more Pictus cats and leaving the tiger barbs

LOL, No way, Tigers are awesome. This one LFS here just got these "Platimun Tiger Barbs" in. They're almost like a lighter version of the Green ones, but they're really beautiful. I'd like to have 6 of those and 6 of the Albinos.

How can you not like those guys?

 

[QuotheRaven]

Because they essentially nip anything they like eat food and thats about it Lol...but Im not a big fan of barbs tetra's etc...I like catfish loaches and oddballs

 

[DazedNCoNfUsEd]

LOL... thats why you gotta keep them with bigger meaner fish, then they know their role!
