2 convict cichlids(or more), 4 clown loach, 3 cory cats, 1 rainbow shark, 6 tiger barbs, 2 plecos and maybe a couple of angel fish, in a heavily planted 75g tank with excellent filtration.

another maybe? 1 oscar ??? :eek:
?
 
No covicts or oscar, what kind of plecos? Other than those the tank is good (Cons might bully angels, oscar would eat cories)

hmm ok forget the angels, i dont like them anyway, just throwin suggestions out. Can i have convicts then ?

nvm the oscar unless i decide against the cories ?

sail fin pleco looks nice.

convicts and oscar fish are the 2 im most interested in so maybe u can suggest what fish i could house with these 2 types ? tigers maybe and others, remember 75g is alot of space ;)
 
Oscars get big!
convicts are very territorial

you couldn't house many things with convicts as they are very very very agressive

bigger than 75g ?

ok ill reconsider the convicts, can i keep 1 oscar with my other choices ?
 
one oscar in a 75g is ok

but don't put in too many fish with him, and make sure they get large enough so he won't snack on them when he gets bigger
 
Its been my experience that Oscars can only be kept alone. The only thing I have ever been able to keep along with a full grown Oscar was a Jack Dempsey, who in turn sucked the eyeballs out of the Oscar after about 6 months. :crazy:
I have given the Oscars to unsuspecting friends and dont plan on keeping any more. The larger Oscar was housed in a 29 US gallon tank alone and still overloaded the tank with waste. They are neat fish, but I hated having an entire tank wrapped up with a single fish.

(A guppy did manage to live inside an ornamental treasure chest for weeks, slipping to the surface for food, before I noticed he was gone one day. Must have made a mistake)
 
Oscars can't be kept happily in a 29g us.
You would be ok with the cons, clowns, tiger barbs, Rainbow shark and a plec, (I would go for Bristle nose plecs if you want 2) :)
