What's your next CA/SA cichlid?

[driftwood]

Just about any geophagus species. I'm hoping to pick up a group of Orangeheads and a group of Bahia Red's from jgentry in the next couple weeks...

Just don't get the Pindare. They are so skiddish I can't believe it and I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of them. Anyway my next fish is going to be a group of Electric blue Rams. I had no desire to have this fish until I saw a show tank with nothing but EBR's and it was amazing. Anyway that will be my next fish.

A pair of Haitians, they are amazing fish.

Natalie, I find that (the fact they only allow 55 or smaller) silly since most all houses in FL are on slabs.

Yep me too. I had a bit of difficulty even getting them to accept the fish tanks. When the realtor asked what size tanks I had, (I lied) I said 10g and 20g (when in fact they're a 29g and half-full 40g breeder). He said that size was ok "as long as it's not like a 55 gallon". I'm a little nervous about saying the tanks were smaller than they are, but I'm getting renter's insurance and that seemed to put the owners at ease. If worse comes to absolute worst, I can put the tanks in the garage if I have to. I don't think it will come to that though, since they already agreed to let me have the two.

Tough question.

My current want list is all herichthys

Yellow labridens
Minkleyi
White Labridens
Bartoni

Hopefully I will get to try all of them over the next few years. I should have the yellow labridens and minkleyi in a few weeks. The white labridens are going to be a little tough to find.

I would love an EBJD or a marbled convict.

I want trimacs!!!!!!! I had one years ago with devilish red eyes and the deepest yellow body I've ever seen on a fish. I want that again.
