What to get???

[Jeffrey P]

I am looking for suggestions on what fish to add to my tank. I have a 150 gallon tank which houses a 11" M. GT, 10" M. Lyonsi and a 8" F. Bleekeri. I had a M. Briedohri in with these fish and he went postal on my Lyonsi so he's out. (Matt - he your's-left you a message-give me a call). I recently tried a nice big male JD and he pounded my GT into submission and nearly tore his entire top lip off in the first 1/2 hour.

My GT is your typical GT - all bark and no bite. The Lyonsi and Bleekeri are pretty laid back.

Any suggestions?????

Nicaraguense would be gorgeous in there! So would a Pearsei

i'm going to say keep your set up as it is. you have some fairly large fish insider there already. they also have a good balance going on in terms of territories and aggression. i wouldn't do anything to destablize that. if anything, maybe get a mid size pleco or some large silver dollars.

Anyone else???????

get a Red Tiger Mota and some Festae

Yeah sure because that will work . The Mota and festae would destroy his fish and would be overstocked. I say add a Nic or Oscar and call it a day. Or get some bottom dwellers like some smaller pim cats and such.

I'm a big fan of salvini. You could try a texas, but they get pretty aggressive, so I don't know if that would work. Also, caquetaia spectabilis are beautiful fish, if you can find one.

Maybe try a Bocourti.

Do a school of pink cons. or maybe some other target/dithers and try another large C/A male....I don't think you are overstocked either fyi....

i don't think convict cichlids come in schools...

his cichlids are pretty large and fairly aggressive. they might not look it now since they obviously found some balance in the tank, but adding something else, especially another large C/A male cichlid isn't going to bode well.
