Need a little help deciding

[jam05pr]

First time creating a poll so lets see how it goes.

Currently, I have a 48"x36"x25" that is setup and ready for fish. Would like to house a breeding pair. What would you choose? Any suggestions, outside the poll, feel free to post.

 

[ehh]

48x36? those dimensions are different do you have any pictures?

yeah, not all too common but I wanted something a little different than what I already have.

Sorry, I don't have pictures at the moment. Just got it fully running this past weekend.

Lol that is typical of any thread.

Those de mentions aren't really the best for larger cichlids. But I would suggest p. Loisellie. They are gorgeous and have tons of personality.

Yeah, I was just being a little sarcastic

The dimensions aren't the greatest, hence why i'd like to limit it to a pair that won't get over ~12". Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep that one in mind.

Male festae will get over 12 inch

It's the 48" that's limiting. I wouldn't do either

Group of Thorichthys sp, or cryptoheros sp biotope,,, salvini pair

A full grown pair of Breidohri and Festae would look incredible together, I wish I had a tank large enough to have both. I agree with others though that the whole 48" length thing wouldn't leave much space for a female to hide, or a male to prosper. Definitely not Festae. What about one male Breidohri?
