90 gallon tank with one starry night. What other Madagascan can I add? I see pinstripe dambas, calico dambas, and east coast golds for sale from Dave’s.

I really just want it to be madagascar themed - so maybe instead of another cichlid I could add something like tiger scat or snakehead gudgeon... but I want more than 1 fish in there in any case.

I love snakehead gudgeons. They get a bit to big for a 90 gallon though. Same for scats

I have mixed Paratilapia with any number of Paretroplus species.
One caveat
Paretroplus like menerambo can reach 16" and maculatus, almost the size, and get too large for 90 gal

The shot above is from a 150 gal (6ft) tank,
and the ones above needed to be moved to a 400 gal pool (below) after they outgrew the 150 gal
