120g Community Stocking Ideas?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My local library currently an adult salvini adult severum adult chocolate and a larger blue acara in a 4 ft. 75 which is very peaceful. The choclate sometimes is a little cranky though.
 
The polleni will destroy everything imo.
 
It seems like you want some medium sized relatively peaceful cichlids. How about a pair of viejas? That gives you many options. Or some severum + different kinds of vieja. The blue acara would be fine with those as well.

all the info I find on the internet, says that polleni are peaceful... Are they really that nasty though?

I like the idea of some different species of vieja and severum with acara.... How many adult full grown medium sized (8-12in) cichlids could I house in the 120g (48x24x25in) for life?

The internet is full of BS and wrong info. It is best to hear from people who have experience keeping them.

I think a paratheraps syn, blue acara and serv would be a good stocking for life. Right now I keep 6 medium sized cichlids in a 150g, and really don't want to add to it. This seems to be at the max for a 72''X18'' tank.
 
are there any good websites to order american cichlids from?

the only 2 I know of are Aqua Scape Online and Live Fish Direct, but Aqua Scape doesn't have a large selection and Live Fish Direct never has more than a couple american cichlids in stock

Try the MFK vendors section, they have the best stock, great prices and can give you real advice on whatever you decide to buy.
