So I've been looking into cichlids recently, and I've kind of fallen for these flowerhorns; however, I am not looking for another species tank. I was hoping to start another aggressive tank. I have a 144 gallon semi-circle tank that I was planning on using for a native tank, but I wondering if it would work for this. Ideally, the stock would consist of
- Red Dragon Flowerhorn
- Jack Dempsey (ideally electric blue)
- Green Terror
- Tiger Oscar
- Some sort of Pike Cichlid
The plan would be to buy all as babies between 2-3" long and grow them for a few months in a 40 breeder before transferring them to the 144 gallon.
Is this a formula for total disaster? Are there any other similarly tempered cichlids that could work in this tank?
Thanks for any help!
