New Starter Cichlid Tank

[BRANDX]

Sorry for the long delay,

Nice Pics again, Scrappy. I got that 75g! I'm having second thoughts about what to put in it. Tough problem when you have tough fish! I went to a REAL fish store the other day, I was blown away!!! Wow. I had no Idea what all the different fish you could get in freshwater...They had a 14" Puffer! and the discus (whatever the plural of that is) the colors....
I'm still thinking.

Well you shouldnt think about adding anymore fish until you sort out your stocking of the cichlids. Unless you plan to take them to th lfs and swap them for something more suitable?

brandx, your cichlids need to go into that tank there's not much thinking to it.

sorry for being blunt

Hey, Jayjay,

Yes, I know. They are all huge gallon hogs. But, I was actually considering Frog's idea of maybe returning one or two, and/or my friend who gave me the 15g still has a 55g. w/ like 2 very small tetras or something very uh, small and docile. So, I would consider giving one to them, but which one? My firemouth is in a tank that I would have to almost drain or disassemble to get him out (bunch of hiding places) so I haven't been in a hurry for him, and as long as I have been feeding the JD and Convict (again, I know temporarily) they seem to sort of leave each other alone, JD has a wine goblet he drops into to avoid the convict agression...I am just saying, Last time I moved these fish around, they started trying to tear each other apart. Its also been crazy around here lately. So, I don't have the 75g water tested yet...OK that's it really I am afraid of dropping them in there and they just die overnight. that'd be tragic right? after all of this work?

most likely in your friends tank the tetra maybe eaten.

in your tank i don't think frogs are suitable as they are likely to be attacked.
