Fish for 36 gallon tank

[Bradyfam]

I have just got a 36 gallon bow front tank. I either want to do a cichlid tank, angle fish tank or one fish tank. ( What do you guys think)

I also forgot to put does anyone know of any types of cichlids

 

[Deadeye]

Plenty of options!
What kind of cichlids were you interested in?
Convicts and eba are two good options.
Basically all of the dwarf cichlids are good for that size tank.
I wouldn’t really do rift lake cichlids, I tried and it didn’t work out. Tank is just too small.
Not sure about angels.
Puffers would make a good option. I have a group of 3 Amazon puffers in mine plus tetras, mollies, loaches, and a pleco. The lurkers would make a good solo fish.
One good solo fish is also a red wolf.

I would like to get a solo fish. For cichlids I would like a lot of color

A 36 gal is a bit small of most cichlids.
As Deadeye already said dwarf cichlids, such as rams, o Apistogramma would be my choice, if I had soft to neutral water.
If your tap water is hard, and mineral rich, the Central American i would choose would be Amatitlania nanoluteus (especially if you want color).

I really like the red wolf fish

 

[Bradyfam]

Does anyone keep red wolf fish

 

[Deadeye]

Red wolf is a squeeze for a 36, but it was recommended for me when I was stocking my 36. I wound up opting for the puffers for activity.
Marximus kno4te J Joshuakahan all have experience, among others here.
One of the big things is that they jump, so you would want to cover that lid.

Think some dwarf cichlids or group of schooling small tetras is the way to go in the tank.

I was also looking at leaf fish they are some cool little jokers
