After thinking for a while i have decided to trade all my cichlids in on importable community fish S.E.A theme is what i have in mind bala sharks, clown loaches,red tailed black shark, tiger barbs, rasboras, siamese flying fox , clown loaches,etc.

I find cichlids in Australia are inbred, deformed, stunted and quite often hard to get rid of. I will trade my green horse face, red horseface,spendida,BA,GT. The only cichlid i will keep is my oscar in mt 180 gallon which is a legal import and in perfect condition.

The S.E.A fish will start off in my 65 gallon them i think the bala sharks will out grow it and be moved to my 180 gallon, as much as i like cichlids the restrictions here in Australia make it hard to keep the fish i like that are in good condition.
 
Good luck with your new venture.
 
you could keep both, maybe a nice geo/ clown loach tank

This saddens me. I hate to see a cichlid enthusiast have to make a decision like that.
