Cool Cichlid for 55 gallon tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well I like the looks of the EBJD better than the GT but who know ill probably get one when I have a bigger tank and can breed them
 
Instead of the pictus cat would it be possible to put a bichir in the tank (lookin at a Senegalus, or and ornate) if it is possible let me know?? I could not get the FM or Convict!!
 
I think EBJD is the better option for having multiple fish.

Yes that is probably the main reason I am going with it, an I might not go with the convict since it might be a little to agressive and was wondering about

1x EBJD
1x FM
1X Polypterus Senegalus or a Polypterus Ornate

Thanks for all the replies

Dont give up the convict. I dont think it will cause much problem in a 4' tank(I assume)
 
Im going to add to your confusion..ha..ha.. i went over a friends house today who has a 55 with a 9 in green terror with silver dollars.Listen to balton777 he is right!! non stop show and movement,beautiful colors,makes me want to change my set up.good luck!
 
pdbradyA senegal would be fine, but the ornate gets WAY too big for a 55.
Ok fair enough

Could I still do it with the Bichir?

pdbradyI am curious about this as well. You said you couldn't get them? How is this possible?

Could not get what??

This thread helped me out!
I've got a barren 55G that needs some fish badly.
I like GT's, but its gonna be a Female Festae for me. Hands down my favorite fish. And when I get a bigger tank, wich I will withing a month or two, I'll probably get a Male Festae and use the 55gal as a growout for Festae fry. :headbang2:

With the female Festae I'm probably going to put a gigantic male con I'm picking up soon, and probably an FM. I'd get a poly senegal, but that doesnt really flow the The rest of the fish being from SA/CA.

w00t! I've gotta get the tank lookin' how I want, then send an email to Mr. Rapps.
