Peaceful yet nice looking cichlids.

I'd go with a group of 8-10 of one of these Thorichthys species:

helleri
mixteco gold
pasionis
mixteco blue

These are all gorgeous fish that will grow up to around 6" or so...not huge but will be beautiful once they reach adulthood. One of the problems with all Thorichthys species besides the firemouth is that they don't show much color for up to a couple of years, but after that they are all STUNNING. I've been to Rusty Wessel's fish house and he has tanks with adult specimens of every Thorichthys species and these I listed above are my favorites. Personally I'd probably go with helleri.

You could do that group of cichlids, a nice group of some type of livebearer (I'd do platys) and the plecs and have a beautiful "almost" biotope tank...I say biotope because the plecs are not central american..lol

i personally love all thoricthys species(my favorite would have to be a nice aureus). rainbow cichlids would be another good choice too.

I really digg the pasionis!
You think I could get like, 8 of those and maybe a nice big GT Male?

 

[tankboy_taylor]

Id go with the Rotkeils

 

[AttackFish]

I wish the tank was big enough for a guapote comm.
I'd like a Jag, freidrickstalii, mota.

 

[dmopar74]

there are many true parrots for sale at a place for pets in burien bro.

some other large peacefull cichlids that rock are bocourti and pearsi.

 

[TrikkyMakk]

I'd go with JD, GT, or Texas. but that's just me. I've seen some nice photos of some eartheaters, too; nice ones are real nice.

I would say the same plus add convicts. You could also make a nice tank with Angels and such.

Pearsi are kickarse.
I want to add a big guapote to the tank, but I dont want agression towards other fish.
