Cichlid help?

[xxaprilrose]

So I am doing something crazy, im setting up TWO fish tanks right now lol. I have a 37 gallon tank cycling right now (only been a week) and a 90 gallon I am still working out.. (need to wait for filter and all that stuff gets delivered). My questions are:

1. what should I put in my 37 gallon tank? I love colorful cichlids
2. In my 90 gallon I know roughly what fish I want, but need to know if the geophagus species is compatible. Ie: teindachneri, balzanii, pellegrini, pearl cichlid, altifrons, ect. I love almost all the geophagus species .. The fish I 100% want to add to this tank is severums, electric blue acaras, and also blood parrots.

Any help appreciated. thank you.

Balzanii won’t work long term since they thrive if you let the temp drop to mid-low 60s, brasilensis aka pearl cichlid are pretty aggressive especially in only 4 foot space like a 90

any other fish you think that would be compatible for the 90 gallon?

are you only interested in cichlids?

Pearl Eartheater (Geophagus brasiliensis)

One of the larger growing South American Eartheaters, the Pearl Eartheater or Pearl Cichlid originates from waters all along coastal Brazil

A group of 4-5 Red Head Tapajos Geophagus would work in a 90. You could also get away with 1 Severum and an EBA in the 90 with the Geo's. Add a schooling tetra species and you got an awesome grouping of fish!

I would not recommend a Brasiliensis for a 90, especially with other tank mates.

Try a small group of Apistogramma and Cory cats in the 37 gallon. Setup with some rock work for caves and hardy plants (anubias nana, java fern).
