I might have a look for some quite rare cichlids like the red jewel or something like that and it gives me time to do some research on things too

 

[simonas]

loving the fish

I think you should not add anymore and let the arowana grow without being too cramped until you get your bigger tank cos donlt Arowanas get diseased if they are too cramped and overstocked conditions?

 

[fatheadminnow]

That cool!

Jewel Cichlids like to breed a lot.

So if you get a male and female, be ready for fry!
