[Big Tex]

Red jewels are africans

really? i dont know much about the species to be honest

Come on tex I've told you this before. And like I said the list is from Hukit idk the common names either. Also since their from Hukit they aren't your see in any lfs type of fish

well i dont know what i want yet, all i know is mbuna and peacocks sorry lol

None of those are from South America, they're all Centrals.

My bad. Their new worlds close enough right?

like i said i dont know what i want yet, i dont know a south american from a central or anything about them, sorry if i titled the thread wrong guys!

Pair of fire mouths.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Well do you want a breeding pair of something or just a wet pet

 

[Big Tex]

i dont want another breeding pair if im gonna need a 55g for them, id rather jut keep a single fish thats non mbuna/peacock for my bedroom tank

This is a really broad question, I can give you a few dozen species that can live in a 40 breeder, but it really comes down to what colors, temperament, and tank mates you want, are you looking for a community tank?

 

[Plecos4596]

Any of these

Green severum
Convict
Gold severum
Port Acara
Blue Acara
Keyhole cichlid

Cichlid Profiles

 

[Plecos4596]

I know they are very plain just was what I found.

 

[Plecos4596]

What's the size of the tank again?

 

[Big Tex]

i have a 29g now, but ill get a 40gb if need be

 

[HUKIT]

No offense but I find short bodied cichlids disgusting.

 

[Plecos4596]

Oh ok hmmmmmmmmmm see Texas cichlids need a minimum of 50 gallons but who cares just wing it and get a Texas cichlid in the 29 then upgrade as soon as possible to the 40.

That is a HORRIBLE mentality...what if funds become tight and you can't purchase a bigger tank? You doom them basically. Carpintis need room to spread out and move, plus they're pretty aggressive spawners.

As for the other pics you posted: yes, no, not sure on the species but I would guess no, and the last two are definitely no's. the first one is a good choice or that size tank, archocentrus multispinosa. A Central American species that is semi-aggressive

I'm sorry I was trying to help and I was wrong thanks for calling me out.

It's all good, didn't mean to come off harsh, just a passionate person on the subject of animals, especially fish

 

[Plecos4596]

I just was thinking he could try if he wants and if it doesn't work out just take him back but I guess I was thinking about that to much haha
