[Diogenes]

I won't be getting a tank anytime soon, but I'm just curious. What single pair of CA/SA cichlids would best utilize a 75g tank? All opionions welcome!

Carpintis or Cyanogattus perhaps

wow it's like you read my mind. That's exactly what I was thinking. What exactly is the difference between the two?

The carpintis is slightly smaller and has larger spots.

Amphilophus lyonsi. Just pick up a male waiting on a female. very nice looking fish and the smallest of the Amphilophus i believe

how about a salvin cichlid.

ok so texas, lyonsi, and salvinis. Don't salvinis stay small? Anymore suggestions? Could you do JD's in a 75g?

Cyano is a true texas cichlid. Carpintis is a more southern species, and looks very similar to a true texas with more brighter and larger spots. Cyano's can get very aggressive towards eachother so keep that in mind..

Male Sals get around 8" generally, just takes em a while to get there.

Jacks would work too..

Are you planning on keeping the pair in there forever? If not, there's so many options you could do that would last a while..

 

[Diogenes]

what about severums or blue acaras or a combo of the two? would that be feasible? Aren't there different types of severums?

You can also put a pair of Red Tiger Motaguense in the 75g.
