get a grammodes or red tiger motaguense

red tigers are so nice and a 55g for life is fine being the only fish.

is that a joke? Anyways we need to narrow to the specific species you want, theres too many different species and what you will stock with this cichlid? What African, Asian or American cichlid you want? Peace or Aggressive? Predatory? I assumed you want a single cichlid then forget most(not all of them) africans and asians as they like to be in groups.

Try this list of species you might like:

Electric Blue Jack Dempsey
Flowerhorn
Green Terrors
Red Texas
Texas
Discus
Blood Parrot
True Parrot cichlid
Salivi
Neets (only if you want a pair)
Wolf cichlid
Jaguar
countless possibities.

if you want something a little different go with Paratilapia polleni...but if you want rare go with Iranocichla.

i like the looks and sounds of electric blue dempseys, green terrors, red tiger motagunese, what do you guys think would be best to go in a 55 gallon and where in florida can i find one

 

[REDhooK]

I personally would either get an electric blue JD, or a pair of green terrors
