having a vison!

okay i have been thinking alot about the 90 gal and how nice it would look with my severum and another medium sized cichlid. the angels that i have in there now are starting to get bigger and so is the severum and it just looks like alot of fish in there to me. so i have been doing alot of research on different medium sized cichlids and i just cant make a decision on what i like (they all are so nice) so i am asking for all your opinions on what would look nice and live comfortable in the size tank i have with the severum. so what are everyones ideas!!!!!

ps- i don't have a problem with getting rid of the kribs either. but i would like to keep all the bottoms feeders though. if its possible

So your asking what would look good with a Severum? I'm assuming you would be getting rid of the angels? If you are, what I would do would be to add in some smaller species of geophagus (sp?) I think orange head tapajos are a smaller species, also very slow growing. FishGeek knows more about them then I do though of course. But if you did get Geos, the kribs would IMO have to go. I'd try and go with a nice SA theme tank

 

[fish_chic]

sorry yes i would be getting rid of the angels. and most likely the kribs too!

 

[Katie217]

ah, then i would definatly do a smaller species of geos. not sure on numbers of fish though. better let some people with experience chime in

I've always wanted to keep some blue acara's, but never seem to find them when I have the room...

Any thing particular you want to get from these new fish; like breeding them or just for color or personality?

no not trying to breed them just want some or one nice colored fish with some personality!

You could go with any of these cichlids: Firemouth, Green Terror, Salvini, Texas, Blood Parrots.I like the firemouth and salvini but the salvini can sometimes be aggressive with smaller fish.With the severum though i think you will have no problem.Good luck!

Most of those listed can get as nasty as the Salvini.
