Best cichlid/catfish mix in a 65?

[ngav3]

Looking for something unique. Medium to large cichlids and not just a pleco.

12x turnover rate on the filter.

I have had great success with Sun Cats and cichlids.

Most large cichlids outgrow a 65 but salvini and pictus Pims or firemouths

How does a green severum with 2 convicts and a sun catfish sound

IMO a 65 is a bit too small for a green severum but a rotkeil would be okay. Watch out for those convict though. If they breed they will likely attack the severum

A convict pair in a 65 will beat anything you put with them and agreed a severum will get to big.

what are the tank dimensions? if it's a standard 65 it's a 48"x12" footprint. that should limit you to 6" fish. 18" wide would allow a little bigger.

36 x 18 x 24.

Please give me great ideas. Say some cichlids and catfish I could keep
