[skools717]

anything besides oscars

here a list of some cichlid.
blue acara
severum
firemouth
chocolate cichlid
festivum cichlid
geophagus

if you're doing an Amazon theme, you presumably want some Amazon biotype fish; ones I can think of are:

Discus
Angelfish
Severum
Festivum
Chocolate

search for "amazon underwater" on youtube. There are a 7 part series. Many fish in the videos are available in the trade.

I'd go for species of earth eater (geophagus or satanoperca), angels, deep bodied tetras, uaru, corys, pleco (not a common), and maybe a dwarf pike cichlid! There are so many options but I'd first figure out if you want a more peaceful or aggressive tank, it'll help narrrow down the options of fish. btw what are the dimensions?

uarus, heckelii, parrots...

 

[skools717]

i want more of an aggressive tank, ive never been a fan of angels and tetras

i love predators

 

[LobstersGoPeenchPeench]

dwarf pikes are sick and fun to watch i keep the compressicus or whatever its called and hes a real brute for his size and hes aboslutly beautiful

all i can is most cichlids would look good in an amazon themed tank

plenty of small acaras that can be part of a tank like this as well
