I chose Other and picked the Blue Acara, as they have really interesting colors at a young age, and get only to be 8 inches maximum for males. And they can also defend themselves pretty well get themselves out of danger.
Favorite South American Cichlid

I love them all Angles were the first (egg laying)fish that I managed to bread so have a soft spot for them even though would not last 1 min in any of my tanks now 1 had a first in a show with a green terror always loved Oscars my first so called big fish Discus remind me of my dad when he was breading them can I tick all the boxes there is something for every one there I tell you
I chose Oscars because of there puppy dog characteristic's i think they are great fish and i have kept a number of them over the years. I do like other large cichlids such as the Jag, Dovii, Pbass, Green terror and the list go's on and on !
