Should I Get Some Freddys?

[Davey_8313]

I can get two Freddys for $30 and I was thinking about getting them. Is that a good price? Could they coexist w/ some other similar cichlids? They don't get very big, do they? Like 8" or so? Here's a picture of the two. Sorry it's so small, but that's what size the picture was when he e-mailed it to me.

Freddies can reach well over 11" in length but arent super aggressive like other fish in the Paracromis genus, although they are very capable of dealing damage. If you have the room to accommodate them I say go for it, but if not then... Well I suggest you stay away for now.

if you have the right tank, get em

 

[Davey_8313]

Alright, thanks guys. What would you say for a minimum tank for them? Like a 125?

 

[volcomstone]

I think 125 should be fine...just matters what else you house the freddies with.

 

[Davey_8313]

Probably be just them... or maybe some little dithers or something.

 

[D-Train]

That sounds fine, Id do it up if I were you

 

[Davey_8313]

Thanks man. I think I'm going to. They are hard to find around here so it's definitely worth it and they are nice...

 

[Davey_8313]

You guys(and ladies) think they would work in a 150?
