Did you read any of the info in the link you provided? Flagtail prochilodus get close to a foot long, not exactly a dither fish.

You must also realize to go with your breeding tank you will need 4-6 other tanks to house and grow out the fry.

Also with breeding most cichlids, the female needs places to hide and room to run, while she is not ready to spawn. But you could remedy that with a tank divider.

don't worry. i have a few tanks just sitting around. i will have a divider ready if there is any aggression.

and about the flag tails, i was just asking for opinions, as i have never done this before, so you can just calm down.

i'd go with the motas. definitely need more space for tmacs and haits.

yu should try to get a wild caught pair of jags then sell the f1s. thats a lot of money to buy the jags but yul prolly get a profit if yu get a lot of fry.

try rapps

actually jags get too big for either of yur tanks. as for dithers get some pacus.jk. some sds are good d's. trimacs get too big so howboutsome mid sized crencichlas. that wuld be a great tank.

i have been considering pike cichlids, but the problem is that i can't find them around here.

pikes wouldn't make very good dithers you need more then one of the fish you use plus pikes arn't the cheapist fish to buy any dithers you buy you must expect it to get killed

i didn't mean using the pikes as dithers

and sorry about the little spaz. i was in a bad mood, and i couldn't help it for some reason.

hu said he's using pikes as d's? besides they are so aggressive that they wuld prolly kill tha main fish.
