I purchased three new juvenile Firemouth Cichlids last weekend and I'm already in love with them. They range in about 1.5 - 2" right now. I'd like to get more to ensure I get at least one male/female pair. I just don't know if I'm already at my limit right now. What do you think?
Here's what I've got right now in my 75 gallon.
(1) sailfin pleco (about 10-11" - he/she is at 8 years old so I'm thinking it's done growing)
(3) yoyo loaches (about 4" long at about 6 years old)
(2) dojo loaches (about 5" long at about 6 years old)
(10) tiger barbs (all juvies at about 1" - maybe less)
(3) firemouth cichlids (all juvies 1.5 - 2" long)
If more firemouths are out of the question, would it be ok to get another schooling fish to add more life? Maybe a school of sarpae tetras or something similar?
