I currently have a 75 gallon with a ~7 inch Jack Dempsey and a ~3 inch Green Terror.
They have an interesting relationship, the GT will always stays close to the JD, following it everywhere. The JD doesn't mind, but occasional the terror will snap at the JD and attack it, the JD doesn't really react, he slowly swims away and rarely fights back. I think the mild aggression might be due to the fact that I'm currently treating ich with temperature and salt, I'll see how they behave when I drop the temp in a few days.
So, I was wondering what else would I be able to add to the tank? Ideally, I want 5 fish (4 cichlids and 1 catfish or pelco). My two options are 1- getting two new cichlids or 2- Selling the GT and getting three new cichlids. Which of these is the smarter choice? What species of cichlids could I add, if any at all? I'm really fond of the jewel cichlid, rainbow cichlid (pita to find tho), firemouth, female salvini, female convict. What do you guys think?
p.s.- I have an empty 10 gallon I could use as a grow out tank, also, I included a pic of two if it matters
Thanks!
