Cichlids

Corkie · 08-01-2011, 11:44 PM

I'm probally gonna get harped on for this question. I have 2 red oscar cichlids that about 2-3 in and was wondering if i could get a couple koi fishes to put in there with them if the koi's were a little bigger ?

It would be extremely inconvenient to get Koi because they are a coldwater fish. You'd have to keep the tank at exactly 22 celsius.

How big is the tank? You only have the Oscars in there?

its a 50 gal bowfront ( ~ 189 L) and yes there the only 2 in there for now, i accidently killed the ones i had in there before.

You definitely don't need more fish. Two Oscars need 100+ gals.

And Koi will get 2 ft if given the right conditions of a pond and not a tank.

Get a bigger tank for the Oscars and build yourself a pond for the Koi.
