could this work?

[azfishfool]

6x2x2 tank looking to stock it with firemouth, lima shovelnose and jewels at the moment wondering which would work jack dempsey, texan or GT

i say dont go with firemouths or jewels, i think the lima will be eyeing them sooner or later just got with texas and lima

 

[azfishfool]

may do just looking for options never kept a lima but looking for active colorful fish, not sure how active they are but i do like how they look. how hard is it to get them on pellets?

 

[voss345]

shouldnt be to hard
just dont feed them feeders, get them on silversides and frozen krill first then switch to sinking carnivore and massivore delight

 

[azfishfool]

what else would work with a lima and a texan in a 180, also how hard are texans on plants as i do want some live plants

 

[azfishfool]

could maybe snook and or severums work with texas cichlid and lima?

 

[bukster]

if u'r looking for an active fish the lima probably isn't the way to go unless u have lunar lights. if they have proper surroundings they usually just sit straight vertical in plants all day long hiding

 

[Mystix212]

Most rough and scrappy cichlids will tear live plants to shreads. Severums will tolerate plants, as well most, if not all smaller cichlids.

 

[bukster]

u'r just proving my point that a lima isn't a great selection for this setup

 

[azfishfool]

thats fine not dead set on any fish would really like snook, just dont know what else would work with them. Ive been told severums will. i have lunar lights on order, what catfish would you suggest if any with snook and sev's
