No,too big for me.
I'm trying to find out about cichlids from magdalena. i believe temporalis, and some type of Severum can be found there these interest me the most.I would like to find what pike cichlids can be found there too.Cichlids won't be my main focus. I'm more interested in what schooling species could work.I think red hook mytennis are there but still looking at other possible species.
Found this...
The Magdalena basin contains many endemic fishes, most notably Eremophilus (Trichomycteridae), Genycharax (Characidae), Carlastyanax (Characidae), and Centrochir (Doradidae), which are endemic genera to the basin. Ichthyoelephas is another local genus, restricted to this ecoregion and the North Andean Pacific Slopes - Rio Atrato ecoregion [301]. The unique characid genus Grundulus is found in the upper Magdalena around the savanna of Bogota, whereas the monotypic Dupouyichthys sapito (Aspredinidae) is only shared with the Maracaibo basin. Several genera have assemblages of endemic species in the basin, including Apteronotus, Astroblepus, Brycon, Bryconamericus, Chaetostoma, Creagrutus, and Hemybrycon. Cynopotamus magdalenae and Acestrocephalus anomalus (Characidae), Pseudopimelodus schultzi (Pseudopimelodidae), Xyliphius magdalenae (Aspredinidae), Eremophilus mutisii (Trichomycteridae), and Creagrutus caucanus and C. brevipinnis (Characidae) are endemic to the upper Río Cauca; C. magdalenae is endemic to the Río Magdalena; and C. nigrostigmatus is only known from Caño Pechilín, a small coastal stream west of the mouth of the Magdalena (Harold & Vari 1994).
Other noteworthy fishes
Mountain stream fishes (astroblepids, trichomycterids, loricariids, characids) live in Andean uplands and mountains. This ecoregion shares some species (e.g., characids Creagrutus affinis and Roeboides dayi) with river systems in the westerly adjacent North Andean Pacific Coasts - Río Atrato ecoregion [301], and others (e.g., characid Gilbertolus alatus, ctenoluciid Ctenolucius hujeta, and pimelodid Sorubim cuspicaudus) with the easterly adjacent Maracaibo ecoregion [303] (Harold and Vari 1994; Vari 1995; Menezes and Lucena 1998; Littmann et al. 2000; Lucena 2000).

I would love to see more biotopes, I'm busy with a pseudo biotope right now.
Good luck with yours guys

What kind of biotope are you setting up?
It's an African tank of sorts. I have 2 African knives and a featherfin syno right now with 3, various anubias, java fern, corkscrew vallis and some other similar plant. It's an American form of vallis but I'm cheating a little since the African type won't be easy to find. I'm gonna drop the Java moss and that other vallis like plant into other tanks. I have a place to order REALLY cheap bolbitis and more anubias if needs be. Then I just need to black out the sides and back and find some nice yellow pool filter sand.
I'm getting bichirs at the moment and buttefly fish maybe. There is a mystery fish that would allow me to possibly keep kribs too if I can get it. The cichlids shouldn't be too bad in a 70 and the knives will clear fry overnight. Ramble over that's my plan
I like it. Try cyperus helferi. It's a cool plant.It's an African tank of sorts.
