Stocking ideas

[lnelms2]

My rays and peacock bass are graduating to their 300g so I'll have an empty 180g with nothing to put in it.

Any ideas for a large/rare cichlid or pair I can put in there.

I've had Oscars, JD's, and Jags in the past, 15+ years ago, so preferably something different, unique.

Crenicichla genus (eg. cincta, multispinosa, tapajos or acutirostis) with Caquetai Myersi or a shoal of festivums.

Crenicichla Multispinosa.

My dominant Crenicichla Multispinosa pair with their Caquetaia Myersi tankmates.

225 Cincta update

Decided to remove all aquatic plants and only keep the emersed plants at the top. The hornwort and the water hyacinth didn't work out. Inhabitants: - C. Cincta pair - Astronotus Ocellatus Bahia Red pair - Heros cf. Severus Atabapo pair - Hoplarchus Psitticas - Cichla Orinocensis Rio Inirida...

Beautiful pikes! My LFS got a pair of pikes in recently. Not sure what kind but they were asking $600 for the pair, on sale for $400 right now.

Did you have Mesoheros Festae back then? A pair of them are stunning in breeding colors.

I've never had Festae. They are BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll def be in the lookout for a pair.

If you like the looks of Flowerhorns but don't want a man made fish look at Amphilophus Lyonsi. They are next on my list. Big red eyes, a flower line, red and yellow with vertical black bars like Festae, and if that's not enough, let's toss in some blue spangles to boot

Not my video but a good one of them
