Currently have a 125 gallon tank with 250 gallons of filtration
Silver Arowana has moved on to a larger tank and all that is left is a 6 inch jack dempsey and 5 inch feather fin catfish
Looking to stock more cicihlids, with the JD as centerpiece, this JD is not very aggressive as the presence of a 24 inch arowana made it very docile
pH: 7.0
Possible options:
Dither fish: buenos aires tetra ~10, giant danio ~10, black skirt tetra ~10
Cichlids: convict cichlid, firemouth cichlid
Was wondering about how many convicts and firemouths I should stock, there will be lots of fake driftwood and rocks for hiding spots and the presence of schools of dithers but I heard that convicts can be jackasses and I am not sure how many of the convicts and firemouths to order. Not worried about the JD since hes pretty big and can handle himself, as well as the catfish but more worried about the convicts picking on the firemouths. Since it is an online order I cannot sex the fish so I can't get pairs. What would be the best amount of each cichlid to order?
Also any other stocking opinions?
