S.A. cichlid tank

[Kwazy]

Hi,
I have a 185 gallon tank (5X2.5X2) with a u.v. canister filter and a 35 gallon sump and its empty. I love peacock bass and am planning to get one, but what are some other S.A. or C.A. cichlids I could get?

It's cycled and all, just no fish except for 2 convicts in the sump just to keep the system going.

There's numerous ones, and also numerous threads with the answers too.

Ok, I'll list the fish I would like and you guys could maybe help me with whats ok and what isn't?

Peacock bass (any type)
Managuensis
Pike Cichlid (any type)
Red devil
Green Terror
Arowana (any type, yes, I know they aren't cichlids)
And maybe a few others

Your best bet would be picking your favorite 3 from your list, maybe 4. Those would work together yes

Just be careful on the sizes of the others if you mix them with cichla, they will fit whatever they can into their mouth

Those will work? even the Aro???

most cichla grow like weeds becareful on species they outgrow the others and eat em or kill each other ie it doesnt fit in his mouth and he chokes himself eating the other fish lol, post pics of set up

Arowana's and Pbass work well together just get the Arowana a little bit bigger then the bass. Or just grow them out seperate then add them together
