Cichlid Tank

[mark7616]

hi i have just bought a juwel trigon 350 its a 350L 77G tanks.

I want it to be a cichlid tank as i like many of the cichlids but for obvious reasons cant have them in my community tank.

I do like parrots and i do have a very young angel in my comm tank that when bigger i would move over.

Does anyone have any ideas for me of what i could put in my new tank i would like a variation of different types and if anything else would go in with them.

Also could i home my pleco once he is bigger in there he is only currently 4".

I personally like Severums and i know they are ok with angels. I also love Blue acaras but im not sure how they go with angels.

blue acara
i had 2,
i read up on them, perfect, nicely coloured large growing chichlids compatable alot with severums firemouths etc.

i got 2, cheap and in good health, in a week the male died of hole in head, the female has beeen alive for months, hasnt grown a centimeter... feeds well. it just got constantly bulyled so i fed it to my gar to put it outa its misery, such a bad excuse for a fish,
where they just chance ocurances? or are these fish made out to be better then the actually are?

+ severums rock, sum nice silver dolalrs for dithers, and maybe a nicaraguensis

Blue Acaras are beautiful fish, i keep a pair of Acaras with a pair of Jack Dempseys, again another beautiful fish...

And believe it or not they love to live with each other in the tank, mine have been homed together for a long time though since they were small so the JD's probably learnt to tolerate the Acaras as usually i wouldnt say they could be put with many other fish.

I'll post pictures if i can catch them on a good day when they aint being camera shy !!!
