first thing that comes to mind is a JD or ebjd. they dont get huge and from my experience (only had 1) are pretty peaceful. and not a carnivore mine preferred cichlid pellets over everything
Well this is what I do in my community tank. Most of the faster swimmers will pick the floating pellets off the top of the water (if they can't get pellets mid-sink) and my catfish get all the sinking stuff. I mix my different pellets together so equal parts make it into the tank.
I've never had a JD of any kind and I have always wanted one cause of their great look and you can buy them almost anywhere.
I want to shoot for cichlids + 1 bichir. I think it would satisfy the both of us (and I would choose the cichlids which makes me pretty happy).
There seems to be a consensus that Firemouths will be great. I think that's a good idea. I just haven't seen them in the LFS but since I don't plan on stocking till the weather is warmer (and I can take my tank outside to clean it) I have plenty of time to see if they can order for me.
