David R Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Central american cichlid community? Jag, festae, red devil/midas, JD, convict, salvini, vieja etc, big rock pile for fry to hide in, would be interesting to see pairs defending territories and breeding in a tank that size...

David R Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Here's a great example of a ~3000L (2.7x1.2x1.0M) ply/fibreglass tank with big CA's; http://youtu.be/WSBGNn_Odbk Doesn't look like many fish but bear in mind that jag is 40cm!! More pics here. Could do something similar (obviously without the pearsei and bocourti), maybe even have a few breeding pairs of the smaller species to liven it up a bit. If you weren't concerned about keeping it strictly CA you could add some big synos and/or an aro at the top... and if anyone is keen to make one, here's how; http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forum ... p?t=319933 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I would go a beautiful reef tank, whenever people go to an aquarium they want to see the 'pretty corals and the nemo fish', appeal to their tastes LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sounds like you need a natives tank then, a big shoal of inanga or bullies and/or some bugs in crevices that you can see with torches provided like at SeaFriends at Goat Island. Have you been there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony law Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 what about a fresh/salt tank so when natives fish come from the sea into your fresh water breed and go back out to salt. i think bulles and that do it in the wild[do they] also you can have some samon or trout as well that whould be cool..

David R Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 nice post davidr, future project is a 5 metre in the same style :thup: :thup: :thup: Always wanted an indoor pond big enough to have a huge group of large central american cichlids living, breeding and raising fry naturally. Five metres would be pretty close to that depending on the width!! Let me know when its getting close to finished and I'll put aside a batch of festae fry to help populate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
