What exactly are the dimensions? Sounds WAY too small for a gar...What is "breadth"? "Depth"? Is it a bio cube? I think you should get a Betta!

With a tank of those dimensions it would probably be a good idea for you to just stick to dwarfs. That sounds like a 30gal tank at most, which really isn't that well suited for the larger cichlids. There are TONS of dwarfs out there though that give the larger cichlids a run for their money.

My personal fav. are the dwarf Crenicichla! They just ROCK! There are several species available, although not sure how accessable they are there where you live. Perhaps you could get your LFS to order you some? They are great 'micro' predators with TONS of personality!

so u think this is too small for a flowerhorn? need a bigger tank? hmm... yeh i dont think i can get my hands on much of a variety of fish ..just to get a different coloured flowerhorn was a big thing hehe
