so i want a electric blue jack dempsey and 2 blood parrots and 1 oscar and 1 Jewel cichlid
I don't believe the blood parrots will get along with the JD and Oscar. Parrots are less agressive, and will likely get picked on .
The oscar really needs 75 gallons to be comfortable. Technically, if alone, 60 would be ok, but the extra 15 gallons will give him room to stretch out a bit more.
I would choose one species and stay with that one. Either do the parrots, and maybe a severum, OR the jewels, OR the JD, not all three together, and go from there. If you have your heart set on an Oscar, ONE alone should be alright too.
first ...... if your a real fish enthusiast you wont buy the parrot mutants. those are not real fish, they are genetically modifyed hybrid fish. you wont find them anywhere in the wild . its horrible to encourage that kind of practice.
now for the tank ... 60 gal is way too small for those fish, you need at least a 60 gal for just the oscar alone. for all those fish id say at least a 90 gal minimum, if you want them to be comfortable id personally get a 125. do some research, jack dempsys get huuuge.
Remove the oscar and the dempsey. The oscar will get too big to be in a 60 gallon tank. The jacks are terribly aggressive and will create havoc in the tank. You have selected a group of nasty fish, you will have problems.
