I have some ideas, but do you want something that will readily eat dry food?

Dry is best, cut fish and shrimp type of diet would work, but I don't have the time to live food. What are you thinking? :popcorn:

So what did you settle on?

I am getting rid of the last five cichlids this weekend, and then I will have to answer that question for myself....

My wife is also wanting to help decide (which is actually a good thing) so I really need to go over all the suggestions with her and our friend Google Images.

Bump for more suggestions!
 
What about a few Red Tail Payaras? They aren't supposed to grow too big or too quickly. Not sure how long it would take to get them off live, but it can be done.

I like big Characins - I have a Flagtail and six Chalceus. It would be cool to have something with teeth like that but I have always thought that they are sort of hard to keep alive long term?
 
That's the scomb (which I have) that suffers from "sudden, unexplained death syndrome". The red tails are supposed to be much hardier. And there would be SO MANY TEETH!!!

Also, nice that you have the chalceus. Those are some of my favorites.... shame the 2 that I found locally didn't survive the night with my bichir.
 
African oddball tank. Ctenopomas and african brown knife for the middle, african butterfly fish on top, upper jaw polys on the bottom and a large school of congo tetras would look really cool in a planted tank. All will easily accept dry food.

Ctenopomas are easily my favorite fish and I really recommend them.

Has anyone mentioned a solo Puffer, Dan?
 
How about a nice group of Parambassis pulcinella? Or some of the not very common Synodontis spp., such as angelica, brichardi, decora, clarias, granulosa, flavitaeniata?
 
Not a fan of solo tanks.... get some clown loaches, bgk, SD's and flagtail maybe some discus or Angelfish?
