Need help picking out a cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They dont have salvinis...
heres what they do have:
firemouths
gt's (actually i dont think they have gt's in stock at the moment.)
managuense
dempsey
jewel
texas
convicts
sevs.
 
ok.
do male and female firemouths have the same temperament?
could i put a pair in my tank?
could i get a single firemouth and single convict?
 
I would go with a Sev. They are better looking than the Firemouths I think. At least in my tank they are. My Firemouths are jerks....at least they think they are.
:D

A sev in a 38g? Thats just asking for trouble. Stick to the firemouth w/ con idea.
 
In my experience the sevs are way more passive than my fm's are. All fish are different though.

Heck in a 38 with what he has already stocked, cichlids might be out of question maybe? hmmm that's not a lot of room. 1-2 convicts? maybe
 
IMO Firemouths are way less aggressive then Cons. I have a female Con thats pretty nasty when it comes to other fish..
 
yeah i have zero experience with cons. I know people community them with some bad ass cichlids though, so I can imagine they would be aggressive.

OP would it kill the wallet to upgrade to a 55L gallon?
