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

Not sure but I gotta see what a 155 bow looks like probably a sweet tank. Id stock it with SA cichlids

A clown knife and some marbled cats would look great as well. Ornate bichirs
 
No on the knife. Plus they mainly only eat live. I forgot I do have a Marble cat I caught in Peru that is about 6" in a ten gallon right now. The would be going in there. The tank is 72x24x24. will use canister filtering & s sponge filter.
 
yeah not into the hybrid stuff. Did get them in once from a wholesaler that gave a deal on what he had left? Well these 2" fish killed each other off within a few days til it was one left. I knew why he gave me a deal to take what he had left being that they were probably killing each other off in his tank.
I get in Dovi, Umbis, Gramodes on occasion but they are not semi community unless you got a really big ass tank.

thanks
 
Nice you got a wild caught marble cat thats a good start. Are you looking for community cichlids predators Mini monsters???
 
Hey, I have 2 healthy pike cichlids you might be interested in. I'm trying to down size my tank for breeding space and I would really like them to go to a good home. One is a F1 - 4" and the other is a F0 - 5". I am willing to ship at a reasonable cost. Asking price just $40. Please let me know if your interested.
