South american cichlids in 45 gallon

[HUKIT]

Didn't even look at the title of the thread. Lol. Saw the stock list and got too excited...... I have been warned! :\

I wasn't warning you I was simply asking you, I don't know squat about geophagus to be honest. I've never actually owned one!

That's what I would have wanted but further research says they are too big I believe.

I'd go with the Nic's... Everything else is "seen it" blaa.

I think that's what I'm gonna get

A 45 is a bit small for more than one. Since they do better in groups rather than solo, a 55 or really a 75 is ideal.

Starting off small I got an empty 135 I will probably dedicate to new worlds when I move out college

Hey hukit would those cutteri work for my 45?

A pair or two would.

How about with a spiny eel? That hides all day

I dont know anything about eels honestly, but I know theses guys aren't aggressive at all. I would start with 4-6 of your looking for a compatible pair, they're in a 40 breeder currently without so much as a nipped fin.

You can come by and see them and my fish room if you wish, you've got my email.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Alright I will email you then. Plus I think the eel will be fine he hides all day and slithers around the tank at night

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Sent you an email

Tropi-Quatics Pet Centre

I got Neolamprologus multifasciatus for $4.99

Alright how about guinacara gaeyi?

A pair of those or trio would be fine in that sized tank, I wouldn't add any more than the pair/trio personally.

There are some gold HRP's and a small colony of Crytoheros cutteri on GCCA.
