Tankmates

[aquaculture]

What south and central american chiclids are good tankmates for angelfish and black ghost knives

tank is a 120 58.5 inches long, 16.5 inches wide, 28.5 inches tall, and 600gph of filtration, ph 7.6 temp range of 78-82f.

the tank will eventually have live plants also.

been having trouble finding them more tankmates.

thanks

definitely something with a mild temperament that wont pick at the angels maybe some eartheaters? not sure what other cichlids wont mess with the angels but im sure someone can come up with a suggestion, i currently have a bgk in with my GTs, Texas', robertsoni, senegals and none of them bother him at all so i think its more the angels you would have to worry about and if you want to have plants in there than i have no clue, not many cichlids can be kept with plants

yah exactly why iam puzzzled.
so far it is just the two angels and then in spring two black ghost knives, and then i don't know what else, besides smalll tetras for my shw fish to eat or bully when they want.

How about a group of Keyholes and a group of cories. Both fun fish that will keep the bottom active and clean.

if your getting 2 bgk then make sure to keep a close eye on them as it has been done before but more often than not 2 electric and similar looking fish in tank may get territorial

clown loaches , keyholes are a good choice... German blue rams, gold rams.. aspistos grammas...

Severums are usually chill tankmates. You'll need sturdy plants though.
