Ebjd and a strange 60g

[djlamonica]

60g
Ebjd 1 1/2
3-dalmation mollies
3-clown loaches 3 1/2
1-yoyo loach 3
1-extra large hatchet fish
1-female guppy

As you can tell this tank ain't right. It's sort of the left overs of a few different tanks and some failed ideas, fish in cycles and in general just poor decisions. Anyways I want to base this tank around the ebjd and I'd like to keep the loaches as well. Everything le would be moved . The tank is at 10x the filtration per hour and I'd like to add a few bigger ish fish in this tank tht will get along with my ebjd. Any ideas? Was thinking maybe a green terror or a pink convict. I don't no a lick about new world cihlids and would really appreciate the help.

P.s. this is a living room tank so I'd really like it to be a conversation piece some fish that people are going to notice.

Have the ebjd as the only large cichlid, and then do some community/semi aggressive dithers, such as large tetra or barbs.

get another EBJD (opposite sex) and have a breeding pair that would be a conversation starter

You do mean a BGJD for the EBJD right. But I would wait for the EBJD to grow some more. Let him rule the tank first.

I would say bgjd but If your nt looking to breed I would say a red severum semi aggressive . Very laid back.

some geos wouldnt be bad they have some good color or BGJD would be good for breeding tank. or Severum is good too.hmmm maybe some Mascara(filament) barbs or denisons(roseline) barbs. Or a pleco or 2 (idk what youd want on that one)

Thanks for all the input. I was thinking about trying to breed but would the loaches eat th eggs/fry I've never breed anything with any success. How do you ID a regular jack with the blue geen special order any tips on sexing my ebjd?
