Okay, heres the scoop. I recently acquired two 75 gallon tanks. I have experience keeping just about everything except cichlids. So, I thought to try a cichlid tank. What I am looking for are cichlids that do not get too big, about 9" max, are interesting to observe, and stunning, but interesting takes the cake. I have been thinking Apistogrammas, or maybe firemouths, convicts, and the like, but also debating some Tanganyikan cichlids. So, anybody have any suggestions?
I have no idea.........

I'd do fire mouth or maybe rainbow cichlids which I have yet to keep but really want too.

What about firemouth and jewels? What are rainbows? An apostogramma or something different? (I know, showing my ignorance. I can set up and run a 2 gallon reef tank, but know nothing of cichlids!)
Firemouths and jewels can work. Rainbow cichlids are related to convict if I remember correctly( somebody correct me if not) not a apostogramma.

You can can put so many apistos in a 75. What about a cuban cichlid? Nandopsis tetracanthus. Definitely a beautiful cichlid. It would be in there alone. If I haven't gone with my midevil I would have a cuban cichlid for sure.
