you could get quite abit, you could get a jaguar and another fish(s)

im likeing the sound of that, i was going to move my RBP in there but i only have 4 RBP and i think i would rather have a HUGE cichlid tank...

 

[davidefc]

in a big cichlid tank what do you mean a couple of big fish or quite alot of smaller-mid cichlids like gt,fm,jd the are loads of chooses and do you want somethink uncommon or commons like oscars personaly i like the commons

i dont want an oscar, i personally think they are overrated, but thats just me, well like i said i have on GT, a Uro and a Red devil right now, i was just going to add to that..dont care too much just want the cool factor

could i add just 1 peacock bass??

trial and error, you never can tell with cichlids, especially when they get big and mature, things can change in an instant, ive always considered my 180 to be large enough for a few big cichlids but it NEVER works out in the end

I wouldn't do the cichlid tank. Go for the RBP and more to your group. It would be really awesome! Make the tank an Amazon biotope with the RBP.

 

[rxracer]

i would rather keep the RBP in the 75 its a lot easier to get cichlids that RBP

go for the cichlids, i didnt mean get a oscar just as a example i am not to fond on them anyway, you could add a jaguar and a green or blue(same thing) texas they can grow to about 12inch. a bass would be to big for that tank i think, i fort they grow around 2ft. gl with the tank
