I found a great deal on a 55 gallon and want to get some south american cichlids in it, could anyone tell me which could fit and live happily inside?
Thanks.

HUKIT said:The genus Australoheros such as sp. Red Ceibal or facetus would great additions. Skip all the rest of the boring everyday fish, spend some time researching and order what will make you happy in the long term.
maybe the firemouth pair or one sev.. imo the jack and GT both would need a 75g to themselves
GTs get bigger, I think. I think a pair of fm would be about it in that tank. I'm not exactly sure, stocking not my specialty.. maybe 1 fm, 1 or 2 cons (if cons mate up I've heard they will terrorize rest of fish when breeding and believe it mine are tearing eachother up!) and a bp... I don't know how big bps get.
Bps get to 5-6 inch i think
I've never had corys but read a lot =) If I'm thinking of the right fish they tend to like groups, 4 or 5. Some also say pleco just add too much to bioload others love them, personal preference. I have spotted synodonis (sp?) catfish. He looks really cool, doesn't get that big, but I only see him every once in a while
And i would not keep corys with sa/ca's.
