Plan to get 2 of the top 2 pics of the best cichlid of your choosing, for 120gal dual overflow, trigger 36gal sump.


Andinoacara blombergi

Guianacara Gaeyi

Gold Severium

(Recommend) a pike cichlid in 6-8 inchs
 

I have kept Guianacara and Crenicichla sp. bellycrawler together successfully.
They are bothe different enough from each other to "not" feels like competitors.

Dang, what is the exact pike species and what sized tank, i want that
 
The are usually sold as Crenichla belly-crawler, don't know if they have actually been given a scientific species name yet.

I started with a bag of 10, two inch juvies from an ACA convention auction, and they were put into a 6ft tank.

Within 2 weeks the alpha male had eaten all his brothers and sisters. A friend of mine also bought a bag of 10 at the same auction, and he ended up with one large female.
I then ended up with both, and as 7" adults they were very copasetic.
