Hello, i'm setting up a new tank an was just hoping for some advice/ opinions. I have a 'L' shaped tank which is 3ftX3ft6inch along the back two edges and 15 inchs wide and 18 inchs deep. I've worked the volume out to be about 272 litres/ 60 uk gallons/ 71 us gallons. Its filtered by a powerful undertank filtration system which was previously used for a reef tank. i would like to keep a pair of either; Cichlasoma carpinte (texas) or Aequidens rivulatus (green terror) or Nandopsis octofasciatum (jack dempsey) or possibly nandopsis tetracanthus (cuban). would this tank be big enouth for an adult pair? (i'm sure it would be too small for two pairs wouldn't it!?). Also would there be any other tank mates that would be beneficial to add? Thanks very much for any help or advice any one out there can give! Liam.
new tank!

yeah ur tank sounds fine, but i would not do anything more then a known pair or a trio....but make sure that they are a pair....or start of with some juveniles and let them pair up on there own..like 5 or 6 and then seperate the ones that dont pair... you could add some dithers for aggression distraction...like some large tetras or gouramies but you must know that they would get eaten deffinetly so you shouldnt worry about them... i hope i helped u in your search for a pair...
