Need Advice first true cichlid tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so could firemouth jack dempsey and will pictus cats work with these also which do you think is better for this mix salvini or convict
 
We already told you many different alternatives that you could work with, no point in asking the same question over and over lol... my advice is to start out with a single species and then determine if you want to add other fish - if it's your first cichlid tank then adding a bunch of different fish at once would most likely become a headache.

Do you already have the tank? Is it cycled? did you add decor? what type of filtration you got? Have you owned any other fish before?
 
Yes i have and is cycled going to add fish tommrow 2 aquaclear 70 for filtriation
 
love The Jack Dempseys;5090175; said:
Get a male JD, texas and a green terror.

I would recommend NOT going with this stock. It may work for a few months if you buy them small but eventually someone will end up dead.
 
Was not planning on it stock list is firemouth 3 pictus catfish try to get female jack dempsey and a convict or salvini still trying to decide
 
You could add a jack, severum, jewel, jag,texas. But you will need to upgrade to a larger tank in about a year or so. Also you may want to have a separate tank avail just in case some fish become too aggressive toward their tank mates.
