Aggressive cichlid tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had that setup before plus vieja and a chocolate cichlid. It's as in my 200 gallon tank and lived with each other for years!!
 
Overstocking new world cichlids doesn't really work. Yes you may be able to curb aggression but you wont see the true beauty of the fish's color or personality. Pick one or two that you really like and stick with those you will be so much happier then cramming fish that don't go together. I learned the hard way and wasted allot of money. my fish are now so much happier and so am I.
 
Ps

75 isn't as big as it seems. As juveniles you can throw a whole bunch of stuff in there but if you want adult fish I wouldn't go bigger than a few 6" fish, possibly 8-10" depending on the type of fish.
 
Thanks everyone for all the replies. Yeah I guess I really like the freddy so I might just try to find an adult and keep that alone. If not that then 4-6 medium sized cichlids.
