spoon Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 a friend i got into fish keeping is buying a 3ft 160l tank he is keen on south/central american cichlids after he seen the convicts in my african tank . he has been doing some research as to which types are suitable he likes convicts and firemouths so far ,i suggested blue acaras . problem is i have no idea which fish can go with each other . im only just starting to learn that with my africans. so im looking for stocking suggestions and perhaps any bottom dwellers likely to be ok in a 3 ft tank with cichlids was thinking maybe corys or bns it doesnt matter if the fish arnt all SA cichlids if kribs , jewels or lionheads get on all rite with some south american cichlids then they would be good too. any suggestions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Sajica's same genus as con's but better colout IMO. 6-10 larger tetras like columbians/penquins to put up with cichlids Some cory's or/and plec( maybe GBa for colour). and a blue dempsey as show fish. contenders also Rainbows loaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
