cichlids no.... a couple years in there yes... as long as its a TRUE hystrix

:iagree:
this is true, you must know its a true hystrix too otherwise it could be a X and get larger than you planned

Im am currenly building ( very slowly ) an indoor/ shed Trop' pond which will hold around 800/ 850Gals of water for my Silver Awo' and Oscars .

What about getting 1 or 2 Hystrix stingray now to grow out a little in the 120Gal tank and then move them over too the pond later on ?

That would be cool with the silver dollars perhaps. But I still wouldn't trust it with those cichlids. If you wanted to attempt it, I would definitely be prepared to remove the cichlids. I personally would just move the cichlids to another tank...barring you have another tank. I have a hystrix in a 120 with a 60 x 18 footprint that I plan on keeping there for a couple years. I also have a male in a larger tank that I plan on moving to the smaller tank to keep her company. Fish like these should be the centerpiece of an aquascape and other fish should compliment them. They need to be the show piece of the tank...especially if its only a 120.
 
hystrix for cheaper than motoro ?
dont know what the dollar value works out too but that seems odd to me,
motoros here are 120-150ish $ and hystrix were alot more

I have no clue on Ray prices , i just know that they are expensive and thought that was a good price for them .

Dollars with my current Cichlids ?
