(Probably a duplicate) Good tank mates for Cichla?

[Steveo McNello]

I have four 3-4" cichla in my 125.

What kind of tank mates would work best with these guys? Preferably not a RTC or TSN.

Thanks!

Anything that does not fit in their mouth , this is what i have with my kelberi pbass, ghost knife, silver dollars, senegal bichirs, clown loaches, datnoids, and soon a silver arowana

Geophagus for real? I love those guys! Well I went to the LFS today... haha. I bought:

5" Florida gar
5" shortnose gar ^ [they the same thing?]
One Mono Pbass [same size as the pack]
and I caved, a cute RTC [but too small to pick on anything yet] I'll just have to not overfeed him and watch everybodys size.

^ These are all in my QT tank.

And I know how big they all get yadi yada...

Keep a close eye on that rtc. That was a real dumb purchase to add w/ kels. I give you a month....maybe two till it can eat your bass.

^ i agree feeding that thing or not it grows lol.

Dont loose the Kels!!

 

[Steveo McNello]

I don't have Kels...
