Breeding Options

[silver dollars]

I have heard that there are some cichlids that will eliminate snails permanitly, so i am going to check on some cichlids that will kill all of my snails

I would have suggested putting a clown loach or two in your tank, but it seems overstocked already.

yeah i know but i am going to do something about that, so clown loaches really do that?

what about some Archocentus (Cryptoheros) Sajica, woulld they kill the snails?? Here is a picture of one...www.peifc.com/Our_fish/sajica/142-4285_IMG.JPG

Never heard of many cichlids eating snails myself.

Your tank is overstocked already, and Tbar cichlids would not be a good choice, none would be a good choce really until you rethink the stock list on that tank. Not to mention the species mixed in there together could use some looking at.

I'm really not sure how you've been doing it this long with "Silver Dollars, Rams, Gouramis, Bettas, Cory's, Gobies, Tetras, Angels, Killies, and soon some P. pulchers" all in just a 55gal tank. It makes me cringe to tell you the truth.

Its also odd that you would rather cram the cichlids in with other community fish in the 55gal while you have a 75gal with just swordtails?

Ok Silver, We can not keep this up and we certainly can not breed the fish for you. At some point you are just going to have to make a decision and stick with it. Often the best way to find out how is to try.

Yeah and like cichlid man said the current fish you are thinking about isn't a good mix in any of your tanks.

I am going to put the Archocentrus (Cryptoheros) Sajica ina separate tank, and use my other 29G to keep some of the fish in my 55G in there so it will have more room for other fish to swim.
