Fish Fanatic
Ok, maybe its not really a 'deep end' - but its new territory for me I had plans to start a cichlid only take, but due to increase in work related activities, I ended up scratching the idea of having another tank! Maybe after college... hmmm..
Anyway, now I am left with my good ol' 45 gallon and its pretty empty. The angelfish do nothing but clean one corner of the tanks plant leafs for breeding, and my corys are busy swimming through the substrate tunnels so I never see them. That sucks, since its in my living room and I tend to stare at it when I'm supposed to be doing homework. Plus, my juvenille angelfish keep breeding around the clock - and luckily, they are still to young and the eggs just become fungus. I was thinking of adding (bigger) fish to the mix, maybe just 1 or 2 to keep it simple. I've come to find out I like the look of a 'simple' tank more than a busy, active one. I used to have schooling fish, as thats were all my experience is, but I'm a calm person and like calm things Ā

I would like to add a cichlid if thats possible. Im on here though because I have no idea of ANY cichlid personalitys, temper, etc.. I dont want tank bullies or my corys to turn into food! I also have a heavily planted tank, so I dont know if cichlids will eat them...
Any ideas for a fish or two? I have 8 corydoras (a few peppers and false juliis) and the 2 paired angelfish. If you have an idea, I would love to hear it! Just keep in mind I would like a bigger fish (not monster, but not tetra small neither) and they have to be up to the angelfishs temper in their 'love crazed' world. (P.S., I dont mind if the angelfish fry get eaten, I dont want to be a breeder).
