Can Someone Help Me Stock?

I dont really know where to begin because my LFS doesnt display the real name of the fish. You might get a dwarf cichlid or something but it says assorted afrain cichlids.....so i am not sure waht to start with.


I have a 29 gallon TALL tank. Its planted a lot i would say...and it has a lot of hiding spots.

I wanted Cichlids but noone cares dwarf.

I wanted active fish that would interact with me! Like an oscar.




I am in fact getting a bigger tank when I move out in January. Probably a 75-100gal

I would ask this one in the New World cichlid forum; I'm sure those guys will be able to help you find a cichlid that is nice and interactive. If I were you I would go for a smaller variant just in case anything goes wrong with that oscar tank. I'm not at all a cichlid expert, but it sounds to me like you'd be more likely to find what you're looking for among South/Central American cichlids rather than Africans. And don't forget, if your local shop is no good, there may be better suppliers online.
