i have a 90 gallon tank. at the moment i have 2 oscars, an ebjd, a gold severum, a firemouth, 3 clown loaches and a pleco. im going to get rid of one oscar and the firemouth. would i still have too many fish? Can i get another severum? perhaps a green?

I think if you remove the fish you have mentioned it should be about spot on for the fish you have left...hope this helps

Hi ny and welcome....

How big are your fish at the moment? The normal enviroment for one Oscar is 55 gallons per fish. Some members here allow 75 gallons. Depending on how large they are will dictate if your tank is big enough.....

Let us know. Call me Jamie......

my biggest oscar is about 4 and a half inches and the other is about three. the severum and the firemouth are about the same and the ebjd is still a baby as well as the loaches and pleco. thanks for the replys!

Welcome to OFL

You will be overstocked even after removing an oscar and the firemouth. Think about removing either the plec or the sev. dont add another sev

Welcome to OFL!
delboy is right, those fish will grow bigger and take up more space...
Any chance of upgrading for the whole bunch?
What kinda pleco do you have?

If by regular you mean Common then you're in for some big growth.
They will easily pass 1,5 foot in lenght and grow pretty fast.
