Getten ready to setup soon. Plan on New World mostly. I have a Jardini arrow about 9" at home I was thinking of putting in it but know can be aggressive & is. I do not feed live food or hardly to most of my zillion fish unless a must for some. Some know me & my shop & know for cichlids (African) and displays of them here. We have a on site hatchery of about 400 tanks total.
I would like to have a nice display of New World to show what some of the young we get in or can get look like what semi to adult age. Like my show Aul peacocks that sell them selves even when the fry are brown/silver. Want the same idea here. So I need some ideas what will likely coexist? I know most fish & seen many setups here that gives me some insight.
Some fishes I would like to display would be Festae, Jack, EB jack, Blk belt?, Chichl bass, Geo jurapari, salvini, Datnoid?, Red hook dollar school?, couple plecos (not common), a pike?, Bichir (i know african), maybe a Red wolf (I caught in Peru 4"), a catfish?, & what ever someone else may have in mind?
Now will the Jar be a problem as can be? I would put the least aggressive & smallest fish in first ot give a head start before putting the bigger or most aggressive. I have about 14000 gallons here with all the tanks & have a few empty to control growth on some?
For the chichlas once I get a male & female I will give them a 240 (48x48) tank to try & breed them?
Okay I'll stop here.
Note I have a Pair of Emperor Cichlids 24" & 18" 4 sale $250. & two Tigrnis cats 8" $190 ea. Sorry Pick UP only! Would be willing to trade for some of fish above?
thanks
