When I was 16 I bought a 60 Gallon Tank and I wanted to put some beautiful cichlids in there to eat guppies. My cichlids didn't get too big.

So, I'm about to put together a 200 gallon tank and want some cichlid suggestions.

What kind of cichlids get as big as Oscars, but are better looking than Oscars? (sorry, not a bad fish, but there are way prettier out there!)

Your suggestions will help me with my research.

Thanks
 
OMG man. There are soo many out there. LOL I can't even begin. Well yeah I can.. LOL

Argentea has been in my sight lately. Black Belt, Synspilium,Texas Blue, Heck pretty much any Veija! Also a Lionsi, Trimac, Red Devil or Midas, Barred Midas, lol... good god good luck! LOL
 
Crap...You're talking Africans... LOL Delete what i just suggested.

Frontosas! LOL
 
since this was posted in african cichlids, go with some big haps like Fossorochromis rostratus which are much more colorful than oscars

I just posted in Africans because it was at the top. I'm talking all Cichlids in general. But it made me choose a geography so I did.

Thanks for the suggestions, I like the list.
 
festaes rocks, mananguense, a really nice flowerhorn ;) does it have to eat guppies? thats not the only food ur planning on giving right? guppies really dont have much nutritional value, and feeders ina tank can make ur fish sick :(

No, not just guppies. But I think I will enjoy watching them use their hunting skills.
