That's nuts.

I paid 60$ Canadian for a 10 gallon tank including a filter, hood, plants, pot, gravel, and some other stuff like food and chemicals.

LOTS of syno multipuncatus / petricola in there i think! Personally with such a big tank I would be thinking of fish other than african cichlids, but it's all down to personal preference at the end of the day.

Wow

 

[kubora666]

thats good you could have some nice american cichlids in there devils, dempseys oscars etc,
or if you want to go for a truly unique large predatory fish go for the COMMON SNAKE HEAD
[channa striatus]
i have a small one 4" very intersting fast growing fish, just a thought.
does ur contacts help people with new tanks that are not know him

 

[bunjiweb]

Snakeheads are almost pointless in a tank like this as you wouldnt be able to keep what you might like to have in such a tank because of risk of the snakeheads aggressive predatory behaviour.

If you do decide to go for something other than africans then there are plenty of other "community predators" that you could think about....

Shovelnose - Limsa (Sorubim Lima) and Spotted (Hemisorubim Platyryanchos),
Pims - Pictus, Blochii, albofasciatus, ornatus etc,
Eels - Large Fire Eels / Spiny Eels,
Cichlids - American / South American - Oscars, Severums, Firemouths, Eartheaters etc.
And things like Black Ghost Knifes or African Knifes, Polypterus or big Plecs.

Thats along the lines of what ive done with my 6'x2'x2' anyway,
