Hey there y'all. So I'd gotten a 90 gal that I was going to move my oscar and either a Firemouth or Jack Dempsey into, but my Oscar died. I want another Oscar, but not right now when I would compare the new guy to my old one, ya know? I shall wait for another tank to get one then. But for now, I need to fill this one... I like variety in fish types (but not so much as to like bichirs or african butterfly fish), as well as several different colors of them. I also like fuller looking tanks though only barely overstocked ones, just in case I have to skip a WC for a trip or something, it won't end in disaster. I have a Peruvian Severum, Jack Dempsey, and a Firemouth already, and though they have their own tanks at present, it would be nice to add any of them if you think it could work. Here are fish I am interested in:
Main fish selection includes Convict, Blood Parrot, Chocolate Cichlid, Rainbow Cichlid, Texas Cichlid, Apistogramma, Geophagus, Blue Acara, ram (not sure which type), Opaline Gourami (or any Gourami?), Rainbow Shark, Leporinus (not sure if it would be too big for this tank though?). I would also love to have some others, like dithers/schooling fish, perhaps Swordtails, Tetras (again, not sure what kind), Danios, Corys (I like Panda types, but am open to other species), Clown Loaches, and/or Silver Dollars.
As you can guess by the majority of my options, you can tell I like New World cichlids, heh. But I would be open to any other kinds of setups, I just don't know what my main types could be to enable searching for similar tankmates that would fit well.
It doesn't need to be a 'peaceful' community by any means, but I would hope for a higher chance of one, as if I don't rehome any of my three fish, I will not have an emergency tank for any of them to go into if it doesn't work out. Thanks for any and all suggestions!
