Can't decide on which Cichlid!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Went with Midas for now,they should be turning up on wednesday, getting a group of 6 juvi's . Going to get something parachromis for the 280g , do you happen to know if they're alright in a community providing there is only one of them so no pairing etc?
 
Good choice on the Midas, post some pics when they arrive. As far as the Parachromis it's trial and error some are more tolerent of tank mates then others, female Jags are usualy pretty mellow as far as Para's go.
 
I'd like some green terrors for this one. Or you can make it a planted and do a bunch of little cichlids--kribs, keyholes, rams, etc. They all look beautiful. But I understand the desire for some big'uns when you have room for them. Geos are pretty when they breed, fo sho.

will do , they were labelled as medium so probs will be a couple of inch , going to have to put them in with my channa orientalis until my other tank 's free'd up in a week or two. Good job my channa are friendly :)
Had a choice of red devils or midas but think i prefer the midas :) I have a wild caught oscar but that's just nervous and hides all the time so that'll be going soon.

Once the 280's filled up i'll give it a go with the parachromis and see how it go's , all the tnak mates will generally be larger than it.

Going to be a suprise, i just asked someone who i know that can get stuff imported and asked him for some and he said he'll get some of his list. Well looking forward to them turning up. Getting them imported from Germany.

Will these shoot up in size ? Hopefully with 6 i should get a pair out of them :)
 
I saw a German Midas once it had a little spike comming out the top of it's hump very cool. ;)
