I want to get some Southern/Central American Cichlids for my 170L (45 US Gallon) tank.
I have tried to a do a lot of research and have picked fish that all stay below 8”. At worst, with this being a 40”, that will mean the tank is at least 5 times the length of each fish, once fully grown. I’m thinking the only issue left is around aggression and compatibility.
I have made a list of fish that I’d be happy with (as I’m not sure which fish my LFS will stock), and was going to pick three of the following:
- 1 Male Crypoheros Cutteri
- 1 Male Sajica (T Bar Cichlid)
- 1 Male Archocentus Panamensis
- 1 Male Rainbow Cichlid
- 1 Male Firemouth Cichlid
- 2 Female Convict Cichlids
- 1 Male Cichlasoma Salvini
Does anyone see any issues with this? If not, can anyone suggest similar fish which I can also add to the list?
