peacefull or aggresive community?+stocking advice

[Loves severums]

well then u can't do much then.
1 EBJD ( if u can find one that 3")
2 jds(the females)
1 ornate pim
1 blood parrot
1 bristlenose pleco
3 pictus catfish.

i would not do the ebjd,they are not as tough as regular jd's. And you bushynose pleco might be agressive because you have two males(males are really territorial)i had to separate mine out of my 125 to keep them from fighting.

ok ya i have 1 bushynose currently and its male, i might be able to go away from the pictus catfish, so with no pictus what could i do? and only 1 bristlenose?

get it a femael! lol

Blood cichlids are meant to be quite peaceful and shy anyway,aswell as your pims and pleco,so i would definately go peacefull option
I hav a large tank with angels,firemouths,orange chromides,zebra cichlids,keyhole cichlids,1ram
But also
Silver dollars,Kissing gouramis,golden gourami,3spotted gourami,cosbey gourami,pleco,yolo catfish,talking catfish,pink spotted bagrid,a sucking loach and 2 checker barbs...oh and 1 molly
These all get along fine,i just watch any new additions when i get them to check they find their own place and settle in,i was thinking of getting a red parrot,so only fish iv never had is your jds,so it depends how agressive they are i suppose

uh theese are the fish i am stuck with:
2 jds(the females)
1 ornate pim
1 blood parrot(why does everyone hate them? he is my whole families fav in the tank-my dad,and he is the most peacefull, the pleco is the bully)
1 bristlenose pleco
3 pictus catfish.
sorry if that dont give you much too work with, but thats just the facts. also i have 1 fx5 and 1 emperor biowheel 400 on the way

I like parrots,i am going to get 1 or 2 soon,it is because theyre not a naturally ocurring fish ppl seem to have a problem with them as well as 'deformed' mouth...but then ppl love orandas,black moores etc,and they are also deformed and designed by ppl,plecos are greedy,so they try chase fish off food so they cab eat first,which i guess is a slight problem with your parrot,but you might be hand feeding or using tweezers?..

You are never 'stuck with' a fish,if you decide one way or another what type of tank you want,select anyone that wont fit in and take them to either sell or swap,my local petshops have done this if your polite and are willing to accept a reasonable offer,like i caught up all my mollys baring 1 that is just too quick,so that i could aim more towards a peacefull cichlid tank,even tho its is cichlids,gouramis and catfish i have,this seems to work
