I would try something like a Midas Cichlid or a shoal of Exodons.

I've seen a Midas, Red Devil and Flowerhorn in tanks and they buck like **** when you even walk past the tank.
I only see this aggression when they're housed alone, or breeding though.
Never in a community tank.

read my sig. Get anything in it . besides the bichirs and snakehead and catfish. You got agressive fish. mean mofos. Who like to fight. Ive managed to knock out the agression in my tanks tho. But if you were to keep just a couple of them together probly be hell on watter

Cichlids in Wcked sigs.. Jardinis are mean mofos.. will bite anything that moves..
and if youre into hybrids, try Flowerhorns.. youll watch your hands when you put them in the tank...

You don't think a midas or FH can live in a 55-80g tank?....
I personally think ...
Jardini=NO.
Midas/FH=YES.

55g would work for a female fh or midas imo, but since you cant sex those species I just leave them to 75g.
and jardini, jesus ****ing christ no.

Ya, the males can def use the extra 5 inches.
I agree.
most 55's are 12 and some change wide where as a 75 is around 18 inches right?...

80 could def house a FH or C American cichlids for a long time if not for life.
A jardini can be housed in an 80 for a while... a year or 1/1/2

like the dudes at my work that suggest that an Oscar doesn't need any tank bigger then a 29 gallon when I tell them to just go ahead and get a 55/75 gallon.
I'm full of **** they say.
They've alwys kept them in something that small.
**** THEM.
