Hi everyone! I'm planning to stock my 75 gal tank with cichlids. The problem is we are quite limited with them here in our place. I've asked around, and these are the cichlids available so far:

Demasoni
Kenyi
Chilumba orange
Dragon blood
Estherae

Just asking which of them are good for a beginner like me? And are any of them compatible?
Atleast if I get convinced with one of them, I could do more research then ask further for compatible tankmates. Just trying to narrow down my options.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!
 
Hi. Good morning. Kenyi and demasoni and dragon blood (peacock cichlid) are good combo to start with. Dragon blood cichlids are hardy and easy to take care. They have magnificent colors. Enjoy ur cichlids.

Venustus
Livingstoni
Sulfurhead
Strawberry Peacock
Albino Strawberry Peacock
Blue Ahli

Usisya
Baenschi
Red Kadango

Hi. Venustus and livingstoni are highly aggressive cichlids. Peacock cichlids don't go well with them. U may try combining different varieties of peacock cichlids. I was born and raised in Pinas then migrated to US.
