[bigriver]

! want a community of cichlids that will get along, im use to the tough guys but never tried this heres what im thinking and let me know if you think this would work. looking at jeff rapps stock list.

severum appendculatus x2
bocourti -show piece x1
rostratus x1
4x keyhole cichlids maronii get aroun 4in
2x bolivian acara's can reach 6in
maybe some silver dollars

I'd add some of the H. lifalili that he has, i bought a couple for my daughters tank and they are beautiful! extremely red.

lifalili isnt that a jewl cichlid? thought they were agressive if not ill put them on my list.

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

sounds like a good list to me, I like the big fish/small fish combo

They are aggressive. Those guys would fight fish even twice their size. It's unbelievable.

Yea...im going skip on the jewls maybe the rostratus to.I would like alot of small and medium cichlids that are not common

You should do a geophagus community

 

[bigriver]

That is a really good idea.I have no experience with geos, ive seen some really big ones.I would rather have ones that stay medium any names or pics of different species.

festivus are pretty good medium sized peaceful cichlids. you could do a group of them, like 4
