Starting over

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've had bad luck with vieja, looking for a more "passive" family

fair enough , but I can almost guarantee no aggression with heterospilla,just food for thought :), goodluck I 'm sure you will find a good 3rd cichlid
 
get a group of rosalines... dont have imput on the cichlid side of it. i would switch the fx and emps... use the emps primarily for bio and the fx for mech... replace the emps cartridges with the plastics and fill with io media.. wheels... running that much bio you wont need any in the fx.. also easy to just pull the carts and rinse then playing with the fx... just pull and dump the fxs floss ect as needed. hope that makes sense..

I love rosalines. I just went to the georgia aquarium last weekend and they had a discus tank loadex with tjem and it was amazing!
 
I'd go geos and sev, with some tetras. Then the plecs to top of the SA feel. Lots of bogwood and possibly fake plants (sev would likely eat live?). :)
 
I actually places a big order from manziman for driftwood a week before my 220 busted, so I have plenty for a smaller tank. I would love a geo species tank, but I dont want to put 3-5 geo's in this tank on top of the other fish. Just looking for 1 more cichlid.
 
I have some sevs and geos, the work well but im more interested on your plecos.. panaque.. nice.. snookin got some L27 platinums but he said they came in in bad condition, he's trying to nurse them.. I hope they make it, I been wanting some platinums for a while! Good luck... roselines are nice and Petsmart have them on sale for 6 something each... I got 20 of them when they were 3.50 each!
 
Glad to hear your getting things goin again. A blue acara could work out good i keep one with my severum in a 80 gallon. They also dont get too big or too aggressive which is a plus. Rainbow cichlid or maybe Nics could also work.

Thats actually 2 of the fish I was concidering. The acara and the rainbow that is. And all my pleco's come from snookn. He has really nice L330's and L90's right now
 
What about a chocolate cichlid. They might be mild mannered enough.
