TOPIC: 75gallon tank mates

75gallon tank mates 2 years, 5 months ago #63176

Im cycling my newly bought 75 gallon tank right now. I am going to have an Oscar in it Im still deciding on which one to buy. They are babys or small ones I should say. For a tankmate I was looking to get silver dollars. I see they are a school fish and do good in about a group of 4. Would they be out of the question for my tank? Im not sure what other ones are good for my tank size. I have a Marineland 350 canistar filter and an pequin 300(or 350) filter as well. Water changes wont be a problem. Or maintaining the tank period isnt a problem.

I think that as long as you maintain good water, and that the tank isn't some weird shape you will be fine. I am not very familiar with those filters but I am sure they will be fine.
Although I have never kept silver dollars 4 sounds fine.

you could try a few silver dollars and see how you get on, they reached about 6 inches that are fairly thin fish. It sounds like you have got a fairly good filtration system going on your tank so good luck, you should have some nice movement in your tank. Just remember that silver dollars don't grow anywhere near as quickly as Oscars so make sure you get some fairly sizeable ones or you may find they become a nice tasty snack a few months time if they are too small when you get them

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

Baby oscars are fun. I have 3 in a 100gal right now, only plan on keeping 2 though. I might put the 'reject' in a 50gal that I have.

I agree Marineland makes good products. The bio wheel is an added bonus. You should be ok.
