mixing big cichlids

[killerfish]

could you mix a parachromis managuensis with motagunsis in a 180 gallon tank

 

[Marc280106]

Yes.

 

[killerfish]

really what about with tankmates

 

[ammerman19]

yeah just make sure they can hold their own and grow them up from juvies together.

 

[Marc280106]

Grow them out together yes. But i wouldn't recomend to many more cichlids as tankmates, throw in a Midas or something. Make sure there are plenty of dithers to take the aggression and maybe a couple of plecos.

 

[dovii88]

it can be doen just size up tankmates

 

[Opiate]

give it a go, keep us updated

ok im trying to find a mota so as soon as i get to a fishstore ill pick one up

 

[ammerman19]

I currently have 7 Red Terrors a synspilum, butterkoferi, Jag, Nicaraguense and a channel cat in my 125 and no aggression problems. They are all 4.5-6", the RT's will be moving soon to attempt breeding but pretty much they are all fine together. Aggression reduction with overpopulation works it just takes more work from you.

ok so what would be over stocked in a 180 what about a jag 1mota 1red or green terror 1 midas 1jack dempsy and what about a catfish like a sun catfish or something
