Hi my name is Jeff I am new to cichlids and I just bought a 55 gallon tank what is a good cichlid or cichlids I can put in there
 
Thanks for the replies I think I would like to keep more than one fish right now. I don't like african cichlids my brother has some of those and I don't care for them
 
i would do some red tiger mota...like a male...but check out tangledupincichlids.com he is the best for any cichlid
 
Not big enough for a rd, and the salvini would kill the FM's most likely...

If I were you, I would have a severum, a geophagus of your choice, and a small school of giant danios.
 
Depends on if you want peaceful, or aggro. If peaceful I would go with Festivums (alot like angels only cooler), some corydoras,silver hatchet fish, and a Queen Arabesque pleco. If you want Aggro, I would go convicts, or a Jack Dempsey, Green Terror. I f you want middle o the road, go with Firemouths.

Of course all fish are individuals and you make experience extremely docile aggrotypes, and extremely aggro docile types.
