needs a breeding pair

[2fast2slow]

so i have had convicts for about a year in my 30 gallon and they have bred like crazy. But now i have 55g and what to try something different. Can you guys tell me wat i can breed in the tank that is bigger than a convict

jack dempseys ?

in a 55g you could do salvinis, sajica, i think nicaraguense and red ceibals could fit in their too but not sure on that, firemouths would work as well among other things i cant think of right now

 

[2fast2slow]

i was thinking jack dempseys since i already have one that is about 5 inches

IMO i think a 55 would be good for a single dempsey but i think it would be to small for a full grown pair

agree...neets or HRP would work too.

a 55 is too small for a pair of JDs

Cuban cichlids.

dont cubans get to like 12 inches

 

[jworth]

No. males 10" max and most of the time 8-9" and females 6"-8" max

Most Cryptoheros species should work in a 55.
