I have a group of five with a pair of bolivian rams, 4 african butterfly cichlids, 6 gold barbs, 4 pictus cats, and a pleco. Everyone gets along fine in the 75 gal tank. The TB tend to stay near the top of the tank with the gold barbs, and the rest hang closer to the bottom, so there is...

Depends on the fish. I had two severums and 2 festivums in my tank along with a mixture of barbs (tigers, gold, rubys). One of the severums became very aggressive towards the other cichlids, killed one of the festivums, and was in the process of harassing the other severum and festivum to...

Maybe Bolivian Rams. I've got 3 that are great, with lots of personality. Not as colorful as the blue rams, but they have great color, and are a bit more tolerant with water quality.

I agree! Anyone have any experience with them? My lfs has some, and I would like to add them to my tank, but don't want anything too aggressive. I have a 75 gallon with 3 bolivian rams, 2 key hole cichlids, 4 tiger barbs, 6 gold barbs, a common pleco, and a rtbs.

I've had mine for 4 months in a 75 gallon community tank (tiger barbs, bolivian rams, gold barbs, and a few others) with no aggression at all. The ones I am talking about are a killifish (Jordanella floridae).

Florida Flag Fish love hair algae. You may want to pick up a few to see if they can keep it down. I have 3 in my tank, and they keep things pretty clean.

I just recently inherited a 75 gallon tank from my brother, and I am looking to fill out the tank (if there is space for more). Current stocking is as follows: 5 tiger barbs 4 rosy barbs (2 male, 2 female) 2 red eye tetras 3 dubaui cats (at least that's what the fish store said. I have had...
