    Overstocking American Cichlids?

    Ok. I like the idea of the severum. My LFS has a beautiful green, and i could find a medium sized gold. Also, just as a side-note, ive secured a smaller tank that is filtered and stuff to either grow out fish or keep them in. If i find a differnt grouping of fish i like the firemouths can live...

    Overstocking American Cichlids?

    @Rivers2k- I understand that the environments are completely different. I believe i mentioned that in the original post. However, i am constantly recommended to overstock the tank by people who have 20+ years in the hobby, unlike me who has about 2, and they also know the difference between...

    75 gallons!!! Yay!!!

    Upon doing more research i decided that a snypspilum isn't the fish for me. What i really want to do is have a Midas with something else. If that isn't possible, then any recommendations for 2 larger fish in the 75 will work. Also a snyodontis will be in there as a clean-up crew Thanks...

    75 gallons!!! Yay!!!

    Also, the tank comes with a bunch of fish... Silver arowana, peocock bass, zig-zag eel, tire track eel, shovel-nose catfish, and 3 bichirs. So if you think what I'm asking is ridiculous look at what this person had in there... ? I WILL be selling everyone of them to a good LFS that will take...
