Hello! This is my first post here and I’m very excited. I have a tank that I was housing Oscar’s for my local animal shelter until they got adopted. They are definitely not for me(a bit messy), but I have previously had a variety of different cichlids and I’m looking to get some more. However, I’m having a hard time deciding!!!
My current stock is 1 blue gourami, 1 Siamese algae eater, 1 Bristlenose pleco, and 1 clown pleco. It has black galaxy sand with a few live plants (with the intention for more) and a mixture of real and fake driftwood. The temperature is 77F. Ammonia and nitrites are zero, nitrates at 20. PH is 6.8. Id have to double check hardness (I’m at work currently).

I’m open to most anything that isn’t too terribly messing with their eating. I know some are more fond of rearranging than others, so maybe those that aren’t so keen. I love fire mouths, keyhole cichlids, and kribs. Very open to suggestions. Thank you so much!

With your 6.8 pH and other tank inhabitants, the keyhole, and krib, (if you mean by krib P pulcher) will probably work fine
FMs are hardly ever found in pH waters less than 7.5, and may get ay bit large for the others, and get territorially belligerent.
