Peacock Noob questions

[Greg31]

Hey, I have a little experience with some SA/CA cichlids but I really think cichla are really awesome. I have a couple questions.

1. What is the minimum suggest size tank for 1 or two cichla?

2. Can a cichla be housed with fish like green terrors or jaguar cichlids?

3. What would be a good looking and fun cichla to get? (I have looked at orino and kelberi and they look pretty awesome)

Thanks for any answers in advance.

2. Yea they can
3.Orinos and kelberis are great....and they are the slower growers

1) depending on the cichla you get.

2) yes....

3) Kelberi's and Interms are the smaller of the cichla. Kelberi's and orino's are also the slowest growers.

Awesome thanks for the advice. I was looking at rapps site and he looks to have alot of cichla. Is his stock pretty good?

Also could i house a green terror, a cichla and jag in a 20g if they are all no bigger than 1 inch? (Would be not be permanent of course)

From what I am seeing kelberi seems to be be a good choice
