Compatibility Questions

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm doing the same thing with Danio's cycling the tank. Except I'm using Prime to protect them from the Ammonium.

So for whatever option you choose, the danio's should be fine if used for that reason.
 
I wouldn't do one severum I had one in my 125 an it got very large an a bully. I would also go with a pack of smaller loaches like yoyo's. They will be much more active an entertaining then a pleco an Raphael.
 
I already have the sailfin pleco and Raphael catfish in my 30 gallon and will move them to my 75 when it's set. But there is no way I can part with my raphael catfish, he is very active for his species plus I am a catfish lover.
 
Alright, if I don't do a severum what is another larger more peaceful cichlid to go with angelfish.
 
I think I already know the answer to this question but, would a geophagus tapajos or hecklii, or a firemouth be OK with angelfish?
 
Tapajos should be fine. Not sure about firemouths, if you have a small group they may ignore the angels . Heckelli are notriously hard on each other especially in smaller tanks, they're late bloomers but its common for them to start eliminating one another after a couple of years when they hit maturity.
 
Alright then I will do a tapajos. What other medium sized cichlids are good with angels.
 
On second thought, if I were to skip the angelfish would a red shoulder severum, firemouth, geophagus tapajos, and one other medium cichlid along with the previously mentioned bottom-feeders work?
