What would you guys add?

[Kcoastsurfguy]

I recently re-did my big tank(300 gal) and was going for diffrent color variations in this tank, I basically didnt want any fish that looked alike or had the same colors in it, as I wanted each fish in the big tank to look diffrent, so that tank could be a bright colorful show piece.

So what I started with in this set up (note no fish are in it yet there all in diffrent tanks)

Going to add

1 Tiger O
1 Female JD
1 Female Salvini
6 RH silver Dollars

What cichlid would you guys add that wouldnt clash with the colors of these guys?
Not going to add a GT, maybe a gold sev, but might clash with the yellow on the salv, maybe a tex but not a green, IDK what would you guys do?

What about a red head or a red spot sev instead of the gold?

maybe a female jag

Thanks guys,

I was thinking about a cichlid with a redish color, the red spot is a good idea. I originally was thinking a Jag as well but was kinda on the fence just because of aggression levels. Great ideas tho!

Anyone have any other input?

 

[ProblEmZ]

Vieja species for color, Istlanum for color and personality. Good luck and definitely do research!

Yea a Jag has came into consideration not entirely to sure yet though...

Anyone else have any ideas to throw in the hat?

 

[siebertn]

a jag would look sweet but as you said some of them have anger management problems. maybe a couple of red tail chalceus

 

[Kcoastsurfguy]

Yea, I agree a Jag would look pretty sweet still on the fence though...

The other contenders so far are:

Red spot sev- I have 2 gold ones already so I dont know
Vieja- maybe Im a little indiffrent at the moment
Texas- I owned one not to long ago and sold him, so IDK

The biggest WOW factors so far were the Red Spot and the Jag but havent decided as of yet...

Any other ideas
