New guy here. I used to be a large scale breeder (@40 years ago) for African Cichlids & did killifish on the side because I enjoyed them so much. I had my basement in New England converted to a fish room with an air blower which powered the sponge filters that were in "every tank". Also had daylight lighting on timers and a controlled room temp. Multiple cultures going all the time to feed fry. O2 tanks for shipping fish. Needless to say I barely made enough to support my addiction. The military, constantly moving put an end to my hobby/business. Now I have been out of the hobby since 1990 and have most likely forgotten quite a bit and I'm sure there is a lot of new technology I know nothing about. Retired now and preparing to buy a 90 gallon tank to enjoy now that I am retired. Planning on doing some South American Cichlids as I've never done these before. Currently looking at Geo Redhead Tapajo, Electric Blue Acara, Gymnogeophagus balzanii. I am going to need a lot of help and advice. Looking forward to ideas and advice. Thanks Bob.
 
Thanks all. I’m considering doing just the tapajos with some upper level dither fish to keep it simple.
With that you could have some nice tetras like Colombian (would compliment the geos well) and cories on the bottom. Maybe a severum too for a nice centerpiece wet pet!
