Is My American Cichlid Community Compatible?

0

That’s way too many Cichlids! These aren’t community fish and need a ton of space for territories. Oscars in particular need about 75g just for one, alone! Green Terrors are also highly territorial and need at least 45-55 gallons for one male or a bonded male/female pair. Jack Dempseys around 55 gallons plus for one or a bonded pair. Firemouths are smaller and could easily be bullied by the larger Cichlids. I think you need to do a lot more species research before you start stocking! As for the Pleco, there are over 800 species with a huge range of needs, do your research carefully!
