I am looking to get a upgraded aquarium in the near future. I have a 75 Gallon Aquarium with 2 Oscars and a pleco in that. And i have a 55 Gallon tank with a Green Terror Cichlid, a convict cichlid, a senegal bichir, and a ornate bichir. I plan on keeping these tanks but i would like to get another tank to house 2-3 different oscars, and possibly a pike cichlid, and a jack dempsey. What Size aquarium and filtration set ups would i need to make this possible? I know how to care for the fish and i keep my aquariums clean with 30% bi-weekly water changes. Any Advice/feedback you can give me on my current set ups and my future set up would be greatly appreciated. thanks

standard 55 US gallon tank. dual hang over filters both rated for 70 gallons. Weekly 40%ish water change (i will do more changes if needed)
Fish:
1 green severum
2 firemouth
1 blood parrot
1 bristlenose pleco
all of these fish will deffinitly going to be housed in the 55 gallon.
Do i have room to add another medium/large cichlid?
i was hoping i could keep a female jack dempsey in there as well but not sure if that would be over doing it. im aware of the minimum tank sizes of these fish as i have done a lot of online research but i have more than enough filtration and again i dnt mind doing extra water changes! if a female JD wouldnt work, what kind of other cichlid could i add?
thanks a bunch!
thanks so much for the suggestions! the annoying thing is there are 3 pet stores close to me that sell fish and its weird, none of them sell acaras…only GT’s =[ they do sell convicts tho. are regular cons and the yellow cons the same in temperment? and also, none of the places sell rainbow cichlids either!

I have a 40 gallon tank with one Jack Dempsey,2 large apple snails,1 baby apple snail and 2 baby trumpet snails.My jack doesn’t mess with the large snails but loves to bully and rough up the baby snails.My 40 gallon has 2 filters and bubble stone and all that stuff.Next week I am going to get a 10 gallon tank and a little filter just to house the baby snails until they get bigger.Im afraid if I keep them in their with the jack they will die.I know they are just snails but I can stand the thought of them dying.Ok enough rambling,My question is…Is it ok to keep the snails in a container with just water and no filtration or aeration for about a week until I can get the 10 gallon set up secured? Will they survive? I will still feed them.Any and all advice appreciated.
