The o and jag definitely need to go.Even in the larger tank the O cannot hang with parachromis, they are much more agressive.And most likely if the jag survives long enough it will out grow and pick on the loiselli.
Wanna make the right choice for my tank.

Not entirely true-the more cichlids you have the more the aggression is spread-rule of thumb for me is no less than 4.
CICHLID34;3946770; said:Thats my main purpose for the post. Idk exactly when i can set it up i moved back home to save money for when i get married next august in 2011. The loiselli from what ive read only needs 55-75. this may be wrong. The tank hes in right now is a 20 gallon long due to remodeling in my house so they are easy to move. The 55 is running in my basement so it cycles when i can put it up. I have many tank options. The 125 is mine and the 75 is my dads if i neede it. I wanna keep it short so i wanna stick with fish that can live in a 75 with the loiselli for life so when the 125 goes up i know they will have plenty of room.
Next time get the tank first then the fish-rule to live by.
CICHLID34;3947223; said:which fish would be the best tankmate for the loiselli? So i can make a decision when it comes time to get another fish
If you get rid of the O and Jag pick 3 of the following:
Escondido, Cuban, GT, JD, Salvini, Male Con, BB, Freddy, Mota, Amph. Xilo., Kraussi, and Mayan.
I have the tanks, but i have construction going on and dont have the room for the big tank. Its going back up in a few weeks. Which one of these fish could live with a loiselli in a 75 for a while if not for life. I will put my 125 up tho when needed after i get married next year.
probably any of the first 6 cichlid 34 listed would be ok in 75 with lois for a while, though for life i woudl go with one of GT, JD, Sal, Con
also depends on the sex of the fish i have a losellei she is 8 inches about 8 ,9 yrs old in a 75 gal with a 7 to 8 inch male festae and a 5 inch male tex hybrid of some sort .they pretty much get along fine but the female losellei runs the tank chases them around when she feels like it but not one fish has any marks, scratches or scrapes on any of them.also it all depends on the fishes individual temperment and attitude.
