Recently set up tank, around 200 gallons with a 3 foot by 4 foot print with approximately 50 gallon sump. Right now I have one "snook" Petenia splendida (about 4 inches), and 6 Geophagus Tapajos, red heads (prob 2 inces each). Tank is pretty much cycled. I am interested in south and central american cichlids. I am thinking about some of the less aggressive cichlids. Maybe 5 or 6 red severums next. What do you guys think about some Viejas? Amphilophus probably too agressive I would think. Will Geophagus cross breed? If not I would like to maybe throw in another school of a different geo, but I dont want any hybrids. Will start with all fish in the 1-4 inch range. No worries adding tanks as needed for aggression. Any suggestions on some possible tankmates?
Am considering a breeding program of some cichlids also but I may be crazy as the market will probably saturate quickly. I dont need a job, just for fun on the breeding. Ive got a pair on synspilum currently (in another tank.)
