I want to get a 220 gallon tank and put my Oscar and Raphael in it. Then add a Jack Dempsey, Green Terror, and Jaguar Cichlid. What do you guys think about this setup?

don't jaguar cichlids get huge? like 2 foot or more? I'm sure the 220gal would be big enough but I'm not so sure that he wouldnt eat your green terror, they don't get much bigger than 6 in

Males get about a lot and a half. Females get about one foot. Green Terror will get about 8 inches. I think they will be fine.

Just know that Jag's can and do take over entire tanks, regardless of tank mates. They aren't called 'wetpets' for no reason If it were me, I'd change the Jag out for a pair of Sajica and a Pearsei

I don't know if you want a jag with your oscar, they're considerably more aggressive.

My oscar is mean but I guess since the jag will get bigger plus possibly more aggressive that could lead to problems.

If I did an all Oscar tank(3-4 more) and two paired off and laid eggs would the others be able to give them their distance in this size tank?
