Hello all!
Im new to the forum and this is in fact my first post and i have a a few questions to ask. I set up my 55 gallon 4 foot tank and cycled it, im running a fluval 204 canister filter and a penguin 200 biowheel (without the wheel). I recently bought 4 jewel cichlids all around 1 inch long (1 was a darker variation) in hopes of forming a breeding pair. My first question is at what size will I begin to notice a pair forming. my next question is once a pair has formed and i have removed the other 2, what are some possibilities of some tank mates and when should I add them. I'd like to keep maybe kribs or even see if the other 2 jewels form a pair and leave them.( i really dont know what m/f ratio i have) maybe some smaller american cichlids or a single larger breed like a severum or blue acara if i ever find one at my LFS.
my ph is 7 and my temeprature sits at 77 for the most part, that can be easily adjusted. I'm open to all possibilties and appreciate all the feedback i can get, Cheers
