    Hi,

    I need some opinions... I have a 100G tank which currently has a Oscar(8 in), Red Zebra(3 in), Raphael Catfish(hides), Spotted Catfish(hides), 2 gourami(3 in) and JD(2.5 in). Was thinking my last fish would be a Electric Blue JD. Do you think I am over crowding??

    When all those fish reach adult size you're going to have some problems with aggression.

    Currently, the Oscar has always been mellow. The Red Zebra is the one wanting to move up in rank but knows the Oscar is boss. JD is a new addition and thinking of EBJD introduction at the same time will allow them to know the ranking.

    I'm going to have to agree. That oscar isn't done growing and 100 gallons isn't big when you have all those fish at adult size
