How big or many SA/CA's you want? Any species that interest you?

i was thinking 2+ although not things like convicts salvini cubans nicaraguanese and oscar because we allready have them in our bigger tanks.
i like GT's and JD's i know they are one option but i was just wondering about any others. also im planning on putting this one in my bedroom up stairs and a lttle worried about the weight.

thanks howard

EBJD Male and female JD. Make some fry.

Sounds like a lot, but after really looking into it, i discovered most EBJD breeders use a 36x15X footprint. This is a little tighter... but it could do.

you could try salvini's there a medium sized, aggresive cichlids, and very colorful. i'd do them or the green terror.

Your not going to have any issues with the weight of a 55g, not even a 75g which would be a better choice, gives you more options. I thinking green terrors

He stated that he already has sals, and they are not an option

ok would the GT and JD be ok in a 55g? also i would like a EBJD and JD but they are hard to get hold of in the UK.

im doing some dwarf cichlids. if it interests you some rams and kribs make a very nice setup with out crowding a 55.

How about some grammodes or acaras. Not together though. Grammodes are called mini doviis and can be little mean. I always wanted Geos. I don't know... just suggestions.
