Severum and cichlid community stocking help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How about no earth eater or acara and just the sev firemouth and con.
 
Now I know I'm probably asking for trouble but is there any way I could squeeze a saxatiliss pike in there? Or would it eat the danios? I would introduce it last and would be willing to drop the firemouth.
 
I wouldn't put a Saxatilis pike in that tank. A 75 isn't really that large of a tank when you start talking about large cichlids. And yes, being piscivores, the pike would eat any fish small enough to fit in its mouth.
 
Ok that's what I figured just wanted to make sure.
so the final stocking will be:
1 firemouth
1 black convict
1 green severum
6 giant danios
1 rainbow shark
1 four line pimelodus
1 striped raphael catfish
1 sailfin pleco (until to big)
1 synodontis eupterus

water chages will be twice monthly.
 
edit:my advise is for the op post,i didnt look much further sry
if u are looking for peacfull SA u might want uaru cichlid,my 4 severums get along with my uaru just fine
i also got firemouth,just as a advise i think the sweatspot is adding a smaller firemouth then the severums pals cause he can get a little nasty
but dont put uaru with firemouth together because its really is can get harsh for the uaru to stand for himself as he is peacefull and wont biteback
u could propably tell it didnt work for me the combination of uaru and firemouth ;)

as for bottom feeders i personally like clown loaches especially when they flock together,they look so adorable when together
and they are are a bunch of flockers so u may wanna to add at least 4 of them :)
good luck!
 
Uaru are large growing and high bioload fish. They require a big tank and frequent (weekly) water changes because they are sensitive to high nitrates and will develop HITH in poor water.
