Hey guys I've just converted over from an African tank and I must say they it was color galore when I had it. Anyone that had Africans know that you can have practically any color. Really brightens up a tank especially with a black background. Right now I have Green Terrors, (favorite fish of all time :) , Purple Red rose queens and a pretty big Red Devil. Can someone please list some species to add? Thanks in advance!
 
Tank size? Red Texas, Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, Blood Parrot, Pink Convict, and KK Flowerhorn.
 
If you get all them as juveniles and add them about the same time. Your Red Devil might not allow that though...
 
Our Synspillums are pretty colorful but they get a fair size. Our male is about 14 inches but very peaceful.

Yes I agree, I've seen nice pics of them but I think they're either hit or miss. I have a friend that wants to sell me one but it's just off for some reason. Lots of colors but not vibrant at all. The colors are faded.

Imagine all or most of the fishes on this list in one tank. There's a member here that has this setup in what I think is a 130 gallon tank...most of decent size too. Well overstocked, but he made it work. Water is crystal clear and they even breed in the tank. I was in awe when I saw this setup..talk about colors. Lonewolf, if you see this thread, post your setup.
