Best lone (or pair) cichlid for a 55/75

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
but black nastys also have the reputation for dying early on.
i read somewhere on this site that a guy had to buy 5 or 6 juvies and only one made it above the 4-5" mark. so yeah id go with the devil or robertsoni

get a single black nasty dont see those often

55 is too small for the Black Nasty.You could try the RD,a Cuban or a RTM
 
I'm leaning towards the RD, but I'm having second thoughts about moving fish to my 75. A friend of mine stocked his tanks super-heavy like the 75 would/will be, and his fish were fine. He just over-filtered, watched how much they ate, and did healthy water-changes. Anyone else say RD? IT would probably be a petsmart RD.
 
Yeah, I just have to figure out how to fit my other fish together. I love barred midas, but I don't want to spend the cash to order one.
 
green terror, grammodes or istlanum for single 55.
 
RD Just try to get a female if it's for the 55 / or get ready to move a male to your 75 in about 10 months +/-. But my vote is RD
