Hey guys,
Currently have a 6 foot peas and haps tank which I love but getting another 6 foot 160 gallon tank in the next few months.
I’m wanting to dive into American cichlids and I just have no idea where to start. I’m wanting some big guys for this tank, just unsure of what I want and what would be a “peaceful” combination and how many realistically can go in 160 gallon (600 litres).
I like:
- any viejas ( how aggressive are they)
- geophagus
- rivulatus
- jack dempsey
- uaru
- hoplarchus psittacus
- severum
- heros Severus
- paratilapia polleni
- threadfin acara
- possibly an Oscar
Out of the ones listed above, what would make an alright mix ?
I really want a vieja but I don’t want it to be the only thing in the tank....
Thank you.
