I got a little $ now what should I get?

I sold my clown loaches today.

Lately I've been thinking about making some other changes to my tank. I'll probably sell my cichlids to clear some space. I'm thinking of either:

a) Getting two more Ornatum, hopefully both female, and try my luck with them. (3.5-4.5" $85 each)
b) Buying a group of ten or so wild green snook. (they're 2.5" and $12.50 each)

The prices and sizes stated are from Rapps. I'm fairly sure I've decided already but wonder what you guys think. Just for fun we'll do a poll to find out. Who knows maybe someone will persuade me in another direction.

Let's do dis...

What size tank and what are you goals long term? Breeding?

 

[balton777]

Tank is a 265g. Maybe breeding if it happens.

I would go Ornatum females to go with that nice male you have! Do the Festae tolerate others well?

As much as I like the Ornatum there is somthing about The green snooks that I really love. I would go with the green snooks.

The Festae are in their own tank...but they tolerated tankmates pretty well when they were in the community tank.

Green snooks have always been on my wish list of cichlids to keep. That's what I'm leaning towards because not only are they really cool, they're also less likely to kill each other. But man...Ornatum are so cool too.

Get the snook. Large, predatory, and easy going. They look freaking awesome too. As soon I get the space I'd love some of the wild morph snook.

if you want to order from jeff get some of those awesome red istlanum!!! green snooks would be cool tho, ornatum are HARD to breed...ive had some bad luck. if i had to try that again i would get a group of youngins
