Breeding Pair for a 75g CA/SA?
- Thread starter Diogenes
- Start date
I keep a pair of Festae in Mine.But this is only good for a few yrs.They will require a 6'footprint at full size(8&12" at the moment)
JDs would do nicely for life.

75 is fine for RTMs,just keep a divider handy.The males top out at 12" normally

Why is it... if someone asked if they could keep a 12" fish in a 24" tank people would scream at them about how stupid of an idea it is...
But it is commonly suggested that a using a divider in a 48" tank is acceptible for a pair of 12" fish...
I understand water volume/dilution is different... but is 24" of length really enough length for a 12" fish long term?
Vieja bifasciatum if you wanna do something different, always wanted one so bad. Good luck though.
A good JD breeder tank is fantastic though, mine ignore synodont cats if you'd like to add those as tank mates. Firemouths work well to, but when spawning time comes, problems will arise.

out of all of these, red tiger mota and carpintis are better looking cichlids. RTM stay around 1 foot, similar to jaguar cichlid, but smaller and have red/gold on their body.
Carpintis have very pretty spots, but hard to find in lfs, texas cichlid cyano can be found in almost every petstore, they have tiny spots and cheaper.

my first thought was Blue Acara . . . I would have thought any "Texas" varieties (cyanoguttatus or carpinte) would get too big, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea; personally, I prefer the carpinte, which I believe also remains a bit smaller . . .
the only thing I'll say about salvini is that IME, the males can be very rough . . .
