easy to keep cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Jack Dempsey, Green Terror, Firemouth, Severum, Jags, etc...most cichlids are easy to keep with enough space, compatability, and maintanence.
 
Cichlids, in my experience, are some pretty tough fish. I left for three weeks on vacation and came back to my tank at 62 degrees and they hadn't been fed the whole time. All were fine and all of them are under three inches.

Only you can answer that question. I don't know what you are looking for. Agression level, potential size, coloration, compatability?
 
How big is your tank?

55g, get a texas cichlid, JD, or GT
75g, Get a red devil/midas, Oscar, Uro, or A smaller parachromis
125g, Get a Jag, Haitensis, or butti
150-180, Get a dovii or a couple jags or buttis
 
Next to convicts Id say Jack Dempseys are extremely hardy. As the last few posts have stated tank size will help alot in choosing the right fish.
