EASY 10 POINTS!!!!!What can i put in a 90 gallon tank with these fish?

[A. Guy]

The convicts might cause a little trouble, I wouldn't get the gourami, I'd go for some loaches, or some fish that can clean, cichlids are messy little fish.

Ok so in a year or so my family is going to get a 90 gallon tank for my 2 plecos Rocky & Neptune but it's still alot of space for more fish so I want a semi-aggressive tank so I was thinking:
-3-5 convict parrot cichlids
-3-5 koi angelfish
-2 Opaline Gourami
-10 zebra danios
Any more suggestions?
Also NO LIVEBEARERS,AFRICAN CICHLIDS(includes oscars),or BARBS any answers including these species will be deleted no matter how fun you think those fish may be I will not get them and you will certainly not get 10 points.
Can I get 1 red tailed shark?
Look do you even know what convict parrot ciclids are?They are these http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=convict+parrot+cichlids and I have even seem them in 75 gallon tank with all the fish i have listed

I do not know what do you mean by convict parrot cichlids, do you mean by convict cichlids and parrot cichlids? I used to have them at home, i bought my convict for less than 3 months and i bought the parrot cichlid not even an hour ago. If you were talking about blood parrot cichlid, they are very beautiful in color but their vertical mouth makes you hard to feed. Convicts are very cute, when i bought them they were shy hiding in a boat, but now when i approach my tank, its even more active than my flowerhorn, always swimming toward me on the water surface begging me for pellets. Convicts are hardier than most cichlids and breeds every 4-6 if you have a pair, i bought a male and female and they were not a pair; however, the female convict(always have orange spots on its belly) bred once a week after i had it.

Koi angelfish fish is another confusion to me, do you mean koi and angelfish? Angelfish are hardier fish because its a type of cichlid, can be kept with convict due to similar size, but koi is cold water fish, and is not good looking.

Gourami is like livebearers, they died so easily and very sensitive to new water condition, mine died within 5 days.

Zebra danios is another small and non-aggressive fish which is boring to watch.

Tomorrow i am going to buy a jardini arowana(Semi-aggressive) to introduce to my 29 gallons tank, but it do best in 90/+ gallons tank, may you can try it out too, i heard you can tame it. You can also try severum or discus, these are all semi-aggressive, beautiful and expensive fishes to keep.

I wouldn't go with Cichlids...they're a little more than semi-aggressive. And I'd also go with Giant Danios vs. Zebra Danios (they get a little bigger, so less likely to be eaten). I'd probably get Bala Sharks, Pictus Catfish, maybe some Clown Loaches, Synodontis, maybe some Rainbow Sharks, Silver Dollars.
All of these fish would do well in a very large aquarium.

Ok so in a 90 gallon you want aggressive fish, no problem. Semi aggressive fish would be angelfish and koi. Both of which should not be housed together because they need different temp. and water conditions and they will fight. Convict cichlids and parrot cichlids are both aggressive fish period. If you want those in your tank koi and angelfish can't be added unless you like throwing away your money cus they will be klilled. I have never owned a koi but i have tryed angel fish along with convicts and salvinis in my 120 gallon and the angel fish didnt make it. Zebra danios might work but they are gonna get eaten once the cichlids get bigger. Try giant danios instead, they get larger and are still fast enough to out run and be good dither fish. Same with the gourami's they are gonna get killed by the cichlids, they dont stand a chance. All the fish you list really except the big plecos ( and thats only because of their size) will get killed by the cichlids. Try researching a little more.

If i had a 90 gallon tank and was going south american cichlids (except for oscars ) this is what I would do.

Your 2 plecos
2 Convict Cichlids
2 Salvini Cichlids
2 Jack Dempsey Cichlids
4-7 Giant Danios

That would be a good tank to start untill you learn a little more about these fish and their habbits and then you can try out differnt combos. Also keep in mind that breeding any of these fish in that tank wouldn't be the best idea. If you see any of these fish pair up then its best to move them to a differnt tank to avoid fights. Good Luck

Thats ok. It wrap it up with a shoal of some short of catfish or any bottom dwellers.
