NEW TANK....WHAT FISH????

[gregkarr09]

Hey guys so I'm getting a acrylic 60 gallon tank with the filter built in the back so the background is black...I was just wondering what fish to put in...I have a 55 gal tank with a expensive FH....No i want to have some kind of cichlids...Just dont know what kind...I would like them to be aggresive and on the bigger side any suggestions?

well if you want a few then u need to go for agressive on the smaller size, or non aggresive on the big size..... you can do a tank of convicts, firemouths, maybe jd's or semi agressives like severums i mean feel free othes to correct me

What are the tank dimensions? I'd go with some discus or angels; that might be cool. Throw some rummy noses and neons in there with heavy planting and have a true SA river tank.

if you want something small and aggressive, considering the tank size, go with salvini or neets

So would JD's do ok with convicts and firmouths? And is 60 gallons too small for a peacock bass? I'm guessing yes...have you ever heard of anyone keeping one in a 60 gal?

um, yeah, 60 gallon is WAY too small for peacock bass. I'd say a pair of salvini

Go for a Nice pair of Nandopsis Istlanums....

Paratilapia polleni would work as a single specimen.
