55 gallon cichlid tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had 10 of them in a 6ft 125gal. Turned out to be 4M 6F. The 4 males each made it's own spot. Then the group of females went from male to male checking out what he had. They never actually breed for me I sold them off rather quick because I got interested in another fish. I really should have kept them going for longer. I got them at less than an inch in size. Kept them till about 2in in size. They lived with Roseline sharks, Tetras, Swordtails, a Pink tailed chalceus, bushynose pleco, and Porthole cats. Oh and a group of Honduran redpoints as well. Surprisingly there were no fights between the different cichlids, only species only fights. And not really fights, just a bunch of gill flaring, some back and forth pushing.

Not my picture, thank Google. But it shows what appears to be two pairs doing the gill flare pushing thing.images-2.jpeg
They are kinda like chihuahua, lots of attitude no bite...lol
