Parachromis friedrichsthalii in 75 gallon tank mates??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
There's lots of them about.
A 10" fish in a 240 gallon is still cruel and far from perfect. Nothing can replicate nature. Funny how people pretend to care when they keep living beings in a glass container in their living room. I have no guilt in doing this though and look to have a good looking specimen which is hard to achieve without the fish being moderately happy and good nutrition. All of you are in denial if you pretend to actually care because if you did you would release them back into the wild or give them an Olympic sized swimming pool.

Please.
Good bye and take care.
 
True. Obvious statement about all tanks being depriving but a 220 is a lot less depriving than a 75.
As for releasing them,Mexico is a little far from my house.
My point is that asking questions on here is and making some form of an efforts to care for a fish is 100x better than going to a pet store and dumping an Oscar in a 20 gallon tank like so many people do. I rarely come on here but when people come on here looking for assistance it is fairly counter productive calling people dummies for being uneducated on a subject. In Australia Freddie's are virtually unheard of and will be doing an 8 hour round trip just to buy this fish so I will be more than dedicated to provide this fish with what it needs to thrive.

I would tend to disagree. We caee for them by providing a healthy and safer environment in which to live with a constant food supply. We provide as well as we can dumbass. I won't be flying to Central Africa to release a few healthy fish climatised for captivity

Yep.
 
I currently have the following fish in seperate tanks and was wondering if you think any of these could go in with a freddy in a 75 gallon?

Jewel cichlid
Firemouth
Chocolate cichlid
Severum
Jack Dempsey
Silver dollars

Thanks
Just saying the only fish remotely suibtable for a tank this size are Jewels and JDs with some certain severum subspecies. Especially not with a Freddie as well

No no no. Someone looking to debate ignorance, and refusal to learn OR even see another point of view is what Im speaking of. You know, the run of the mill moron no wants to deal with, unless getting paid a hefty amount?

Your original question was answered politely and to the best of my knowledge after around 30 odd years of keeping cichlids.
If you don't like the answer, tough.Its the answer to the question you asked.I really don't see your problem.
Buy a bigger tank or get a smaller peaceful fish.
It's really that simple.
