Top 5 LARGE Fish For Your Aquarium

Actually, the minimum tank size for Oscar is 200 gallons even a 125 still be too small for a Oscar Oscar got 20 inches long

I have a 55 gallon and i have two bala shark would it be ok it put a dinosaur eel in with it

Giant Grammies paco Jardine clown nights datiods

I have a 140 gallon only. I have 21 community fish (small ones). I'll buy larger ones this coming weekend. Thanks for the video.

Frontosas, especially the Zaire varietty. They need to be in a group though.

Oscars are absolutely super aggressive. I have never been able to keep anything with oscars other than oscars. Ive never heard anyone refer to them as a community fish. What is this guy smoking?

I am very sad that you did not mention Ropefish. They are one of the best fish of all time. They are one of the best community fish, due to their more shy nature. Also, they truly look like little water dragons and less abrasive when compared to Bichirs, also, smaller mouths so you need to worry less about small fish being eaten. I am trying to figure out how to breed these guys and is one of the hardest tasks ever. Please mention them more in future videos please, I am always grateful for everything you do, just one time show some Ropefish love.

Very good info❤

Bishir yanno a godzilla fish 🤣 godzilla would eat a million of these for a snack

Still personally feel an Oscar should be housed in a 180. You'd be able to house a pair plus silver dollars and a few medium growing plecos. Just bc the average Oscar grows to 15 inches max 18. You forgot to mention their clumsy nature 😅

When I was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, I had a large tank with a Tiger, Albino Tiger, Red, & an Albino Red Oscar in it. I used to leave my porch light on at night to attract these little sand colored Gecko lizards. I would rush out, grab them, toss them into the tank, & the Oscars would swallow them whole! Probably my favorite aquarium fish, although I like Gold Sevrums & Managuenses a lot as well. Very messy fish though & I got tired of the constant water changes. They're way more messy than turtles even!

I have silver dollars and clown loaches, but yesterday half of my fish died, and one of my silver dollars and one clown loach also died. And most of my barbs died, only 2 survived.

In addition to Severums etc mentioned below there are definitely some others that are very interesting. I have a monster of a Blood parrot cichlid (rescue from a 5 gallon!) that will literally follow me around the room, eat out of my hand and will sit there swimming beside me for hours no matter what side of the tank I am sitting on.
Geophagus Altifrons would also be a great one. They get quite large, not very aggressive and have unbelievable colour.
Sailfin Plecos are an easy one. Very cheap, nearly every pet store has them and they can grow huge. Mine reaches from my elbow to my knuckles in length.
Too many fish to name, not enough tanks to keep them XD

You know any carnivore pet fishes ive been trying to buy

Big fish are awesome, I just wish I had tanks big enough for them 😭😭😭. btw, I'm setting up a little 6 gallon nano tank and would appreciate any stocking ideas :)

Great energy in this video. 👌🏻

Severums

I guess this is kinda medium-large and fits better into the oddball category but eels from the macrognathus genus are great for 55+ communities. Range from 6-12 inches depending on the species, very friendly but have enough size that they’re cool to watch.

Hi bro 1 am from Indonesian like your content

my dream is to have a house of green planted aquarium

I FISH

I just bought a shovelnose catfish on impulse lets see if it works out

I want Arawanas!

I absolutely adore Oscars. Such a fantastic and rewarding fish to keep. I had an ~11 inch Albino Tiger named Chucky that I received already full grown from my brother who was thinning out his herd a bit. Every Oscar that I have kept over the years just had personality for days. It's cool to have a wet pet that is interested in what you're doing and doesn't just dart to cover like some do. I noticed that at the end of the video I saw a few Midas. I think that would be a good alternative to a Flowerhorn if you've got the space.

So I'm going to be putting together a 75GAL male Map Turtle/fish tank. I plan on adding a male Northern Black-Knobbed & a male Pearl River Map. Both turtles have small heads/jaws and will max out at 3 to 5IN long. I was going to add Platies/Mollies/Shrimp/and possibly snails to the tank as well. I had this kind of setup in a 55GAL tank several years ago, but it was just one Map Turtle. It was a huge success. I'm also interested in possibly adding a larger fish or two, since I have a 75GAL tank with an above tank basking area that I plan on building out of acrylic soon. I need some larger fish candidates that won't harass my turtles, or be bullied by them either. I also need the candidates to not eat my whole population of Platies & Mollies, as I will be going for a self sustaining population like I had in the 55GAL tank. The tank substrate will be a custom 3D paint scheme to the outside bottom & back of the tank in three different colors of stone texture paints to simulate a rocky stream or lake. I will also be adding large gumball sized polished river rocks to the bottom, possibly a turtle-proof decoration or two, and a lot of silk suction cup plants stuck to the back wall of the tank. So there will be a decent amount of cover for baby fish to hide in. Any suggestions?

Are there any fish close to size compared to monster fish that can live comfortably in a 40 gallon without needing to be upgraded?

I want a monster fish but I don’t have the space for one.

Goldfish ❤️

Merry Christmas 🎄💝

awesome video. lots of great options

I have my Bichir in my Oscar tank , only problem with that is the Oscars are pigs, and eat up all the food before I can ever even hit the bottom so I have to hand feed the bichir with tongs

Merry Christmas Zenzo. I would add Angel Fish, they do get rather large & now mine need a larger tank! The 55 was not quite big enough for my Marble Angels. Oh well......

I too think severums would be a good add to this list :)

Bichirs > everything else

I breed flowerhorn. They really aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Big water puppies. Temperamental. Hit and miss on aggression.

Thanks Zenzo, 👍 Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for all the videos

Can you do a video on top ten setups for Mbuna?

👍

I love Oscar’s, goldfish sevrum.

Hopefully Everyone has a great holiday weekend and great list of fish , the only 2 large fish I have in my fish room right now is gold wolf fish and a red hook silver dollar

Clown loaches are not picky eaters ~ they eat ANYTHING! If I drop in zucchini or cucumber, they eat the OUTSIDE! When food hits the water, they “appear” out of nowhere and challenge my 5” rainbows for picking it off the surface. Mine are nearly 15 yrs old and range from 5-8”. They live in a standard 180g and like the Marx Bros., respect no one… except for my spotted Rubberlip pleco; who chases them around the tank when he comes out from under his rock and leaves everyone else alone. My Jurupari like to drop sand on their heads and my true parrots at 8” hide in the shadows from them. Definitely give clowns a huge tank, you will never regret it.

Common and Comet Goldfish are an obvious choice. A lot of people get them as babies and try to keep them in smaller tanks with predictably negative results. However, if you keep them in a large tank with good filtration and don't overstock it, they can grow to over a foot in length and live a long time (10+ years). Shubunkins are especially pretty and make an impressive, colorful display in a large tank or pond. Also, large Goldfish get surprisingly tame, taking food directly from you hand and nibbling on your fingers during water changes.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I think my number one large fish is Shubunkin goldfish - long lived, super hardy, no heater needed, and a great tank mate for my other favorite big fish, dojo loaches 👍

Already December 25 here in Asia so Happy Holidays! 🎊

Cool video

Female Flowerhorns are 100 times more beautiful than the males. They do not have that dumb bump on its head, which just makes it more attractive. Had one in my 120 African cichlid tank. They all got along very well.
