Hey folk,
Long time lurker first time poster. So I've been keeping and breeding SA and CA Cichlids for just over 30 years but I've always kept species that max out around 6ish inches or so. For years I've been wanting to keep Uaru. A's but out of all the tanks I've got up and running 90g is the largest and I've always felt that a 90 is to small for any fish that can potentially get 10"s.
So a few months ago I decided to make the jump. I purchased a group of 3 Juvenile Uaru A. and I've been growing them out in a 75g. I went ahead and purchased a 210g for them this past weekend and will move them in once it's up and running properly.
Since my years of experience are focused on smaller species of Cichlids I figured I would tap into the great minds of the fine folks at MFK's! I'm looking for recommendations for larger growing SA/CA tank mates with matching personalities to the Uarus. Now, I fully know that it often times comes down to the individual fish since we all know there are psychos of every species out there Haha. I once had an Electric Blue Acara that had to have been a serial killer in a past life! Any recommendations would be much appreciated. I know a few of the usual suspects like Severums but my knowledge of the more obscure larger growing cichlids that have a mellow disposition are limited.
I'm also looking for suggestions regarding schooling SA/CA dither fish that won't be eaten once these fish get full sized.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
