Leopard Cichlids? and free tank for me.

[solchitlins]

Don't want to jinz myself but a dude is giving me his 55gal with a pair of what he called Leopard Cichlids"?

I can't seem to find much under that name when searching google.

What are they? African? He said there a foot long.
He said they were breeding, well laying eggs atleast, but the pleco eats them.

I'm excited about the free fish and 55 gal.

Was wondering if the 55 gal is big enough for a pair of "leopard cichlids"?
I'll move the pleco, what else would go well "if any" with them?

Toss up some pics and let's figure it out!

I would GUESS there either jaguar cichlids or oscars, and no a 55 gallon isnt big enough for a single foot long fish, especially not 2 and a pleco. Thats just my opinion though

Well maybe I'll put them in my 75 gal then, but I don't even know what they are yet.
Hopefully picking it up tomorrow.

probably jags, so a 6' tank will be needed at some point

I agree on them most likely being jags

ill take a free 55g any day even more with a breeding pair of cichlids, hoefully u can get a bigger tank for them soon if thy really are 1' long. nice tank though u can put it to good use when u upgrade the current fish

Agree on jags. The guy probably just misspoke.
