single cichlid for a 29g?

[GTbEaSt]

Im looking for a cool *** fish i can add to a 29g. Something cool, colorful, and with personality.... suggestions?

so, a 29G show-fish? usually it's the larger fish that are best kept on their own, so I guess if I had to keep just one, it would be a Blue Acara . . . I think 29G is a bit small for that fish, but not terribly so . . .

you might want to go with a ram cichlid they have great color and stay pretty small..

Single - Thorichthys sp. (Affinis perhaps?)
Pair - Cryptoheros Sajica or Cleithracara Maronii. For small fish, both have pretty massive amounts of personality in my experience.

Jewel cichlid is nice, maybe a single Salvini.

Sajica is cool too, I own one now.

You want a fish that is a predator, full of personality, and gorgeous?! Well then look no further!!

Just getta Crenicichla!! What you say?! Well, there are DWARF Crenicichla as well...there is Crenicichla compressiceps, Crenicichla notophthalmus, and Crenicichla regani just to name a few.

You could EASILY keep a pair in a 29gal, as well as some other fish like deeper bodies tetras, platys, and so on. Right now I currently have two Crenicichla notophthalmus males in a 10gal tank. A little cramped at the moment, but they are doing well.

Tellin ya, these are the fish for you! Not to mention they are for sale on Aquabid right now. Just do it!

Here are a few pictures of mine to help persuade you.

A Salvini would be nice.
