DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD GET WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

[Hellman]

I am trying to figure out what to get from Jeff Rapps an i have it narrowed down to 3

1. F1 friedrichsthalli
2. Red Istlanum
3. Lyonsi

it would be in a 125 gallon with a F2 Cuban, Female loisellei, a Venny pike and a 5 Spot Jewel Cichlid.

What would you guys pick out of those fish to buy????

 

[fishman09]

I would first get rid of the jewel. and with your stock a lyonsi would look really good or the istlanum. the fred would be awesome but I think they get a little too big for your stock and.may just dominate espescially if it pairs with your loisellei.

 

[fishman09]

those are three great choices btw three of my favorites

The istlanum he has are tiiiiny I got some from him a few weeks ago the ones I got are fry...1" at the most

I've never owned an adult Istanum but from what I've heard, they make horrible tankmates so I'm ruling that one out. The Freddy will probably try to mate with your female Loisellei or kill her since they're so similar to one another so he's out. My vote by process of elimination is the Lyonsi. Keep in mind that you're paying a lot of money for shipping to get only one fish. The more fish you get, the better deal shipping is. Maybe you could get a second fish in your order and lose the Jewel since it's African....just an idea.

but see the jewel is a nice fish he doesnt bother anyone and noone bothers him

 

[balton777]

LoL you're talking to a bunch of CA/SA enthusiasts so it's natural to hear those kinds of comments. Keep him if you like him and he fits in with his mates.

Lyonsi all the way!

I'd go lyonsi as well. Least aggressive of the three (for the most part) and a beautiful fish.

 

[Hellman]

is there any other fish that would look good with my stock
