Hello,
I have a 100g tank with American cichlids, i just wanted to make a thread where i can tell the tank news and post pics.
Many of these fish are very young.:)

Now in the tank

1x Striped Pike Characin 15 cm
2x Geophagus Brasiliensis 15 cm and 7cm
1x Sajica 12 cm
1x Jack Dempsey 5 cm
1x Midas 4 cm
1x Flowerhorn 8 cm
1x Nigaraguensis 5 cm
2x Blue Acara (breeding pair) both 8 cm
1x Paroon Shark 16 cm
1x Polypterus Senegalus 20 cm
1x Clown Knife 17 cm
1x Red Tail Catfish 12 cm
2x Gold Spot Pleco 9 cm
1x Candy striped Pleco 9 cm
1x Royal Pleco
 
Should be in the photo lounge but its probably okay if you got questions thats fine

Hope you got a much bigger tank and you may have aggression problems eventually
 
Yeah i know about the RTC, Paroon grow big and Flowerhorn, Midas will get more aggressive.
Some of those are going to andother smaller tank to grow.
After a year or so i will be building a 325 gallon tank.
I will slowly take some fish away (RTC will probably help me).

In the future i will put only
RTC
Paroon
Maybe Oscar and the pike characin!
 
Jeah its great to watch them fight. Usually only the Blue Acara and Flowerhorn fight.
 
Yeah it really is awesome, The Blue Acaras are a breeding right now and the male often fights the FH.
I was thinking adding a 10cm Heros Severum when i bought the fish but i thought he would be too much of a wussy in the tank. True?
 
I say go back to the store right now before you get attached to any of them. I would never in my life keep that many fish in a 100. Hell I feel bad for having a jag pair in a 125 as I feel they should have more room than that. I feel Midas and FH max out that tank alone when they grow up. Which will be very soon. Forget about the RTC thats like a feeder tank for him. 325 gallons is still definately not enough for a RTC. They need at least 10x5x4 tank.

Seriously you need to either get a bigger tank (or multiple tanks) or you will, as others have said, be ending up with some serious problems real soon.

My 90 gallon tank has only 5 fish in it:

1 Midas Devil
1 Jack Dempsey
1 Gold Saum
1 Convict
1 Pleco

I had 2 female convicts on top of that but I had to give them to a friend because they (along with the male I still have) were causing the other fish to start facing off with each other. There just isn't enough room for them and they cordoned off about a third of the tank for spawning purposes.

You are going to have more fish than water in there soon enough.
