Hello everyone,
I have a 55 gallon that has been setup for a few weeks now just waiting for fish. I do have to cycle the tank still but that will not be a problem as I am well versed in that task.
In the mean time I want to figure out what to put in it!
I am really gravitating towards a species only tank of some variety of peacock cichlid. I love the colors and have read that many will breed quite easily. I would actually prefer a variety of peacocks but I understand the cross breeding dilemma and I do not want to do male only.
I'm hoping you all with more cichlid experience could help suggest some peacock (or non peacock) cichlids that I could attempt to breed in my 55. I will setup a fry tank as well obviously.
I'd like aggression to be on the milder side with lots of color. Ideally I would have 2 males in the tank but I am curious also if you guys think that's a bad idea.
Thanks all!
