Any Advice for Tankmates for my American Cichlids?

[dobcena]

i have a 95 gal tank with a medium JD, medium gold severum and a medium GT
the JD is probably the most aggressive probably b/c he's the biggest of the three but he's not super aggressive

What are your tank dimensions?

How big is medium?

Bottom dwellers- add some polypterids! Which species depends on your tank dimensions...

A small shoal of congo tetras or giant danios wouldn't look half bad either, you should introduce them before your cichlids hit 6 or 7" or they'll end up as snacks.

What are your tank dimensions?

it's a "wave" tank so the dimensions aren't consistent all around. it's basically 48"Wx21" L (longest part front to back) x 21" deep (surface to gravel)

How big is medium?

the JD and severum are about 4" and the GT about 3"

i checked out some websites on polypterids. they're pretty cool looking fish(?) which specifically would you recommend?
