I will try my very best to keep this simple, as I could easily write a paper on the subject. I have a 125 gallon tank (76x18x24). I currently haveCichlids) 1 EBJD, 1 Green Terror, 1 Red Spotted Severum, 1 Electric Blue Acara, 1 Firemouth. I also have 2 Pictus Catfish, 1 Senegal Bichir, and 6 Rainbowfish (Boesmani, Red Irian, Marci, Goyder, turquoise, yellow).
I will be doing rainbows instead of silver dollars or something larger so that I can have more tank space for the Cichlids. I was hoping to add at least 2 or 3 more cichlids, but possibly as many as 6 more. I am trying to keep everything under 12", but here is my list of what I am hoping to still be able to add to this community: 1 Red Ceibal cichlid, 1 Chocolate cichlid, 1 Orange Shoulder Severum/ or 1 Green Severum, 1 Nicaraguan cichlid, 1 Synspilum cichlid, 1 Geophagus Altifrons. It would also be nice to possibly add 2-4 more rainbow fish if possible. I really like the look of the Emerald and Trifasciata and the Parkinsons rainbowfish.
So what do you guys/gals think? Too much as is? Go ahead and add everything. Just add the smaller guys? Decide on what I like and pick half? I would really appreciate any and all feedback and opinions given.
