Yes the Cichlid-Man would like to know what i should get next. Oscars? or some type of Cichlid. Right now i am running a 25 Gal. with 2 Convicts and 1 Mixed African. (see pics on post about tank pics) Well anyway i was thinking about selling my African and/or my Convicts and getting something new since i have about 100 new convicts about a month old. I would like some ideas that i can check into. I HOPE TO BE UPGRADING TO A LARGER TANK SOON. But i am not sure yet so.....suggest for the 25 plz. *crazysmil

I wouldn't do anything as big as an oscar in a 25

in my 20g im doing african shelldweller cichlids, they're about the coolest fish I've owned so far. I keep them next to my desk and find myself watching them when I should be working ;P I plan on adding a pair of julies as soon as I can make a run to salem again.

otherwise you could try a couple angels, or kribs, or SA dwarfs.

has anyone here ever breed rams? I have two gorgeous males and I want to konw if it's worth getting a couple of females or if they'll totally seal off a portion of the tank. I have 4 discus, ~20 neons, and ~20 harlequin rasboras in there as well.

Its a rank....you have to be active and post to boost it up.

Rams are great, and IN MY OPINION i think it will be worth while to get some females.

What size tank, if they have enough room they should be fine with all those fish.

Got any pics of your discus? I'd love to see some.

ive got a jack dempsey, electric blue ahli and a firemouth, they are all cool fish. the electric blue tries to be the bully of the tank, but they all seem to get along fine. I think these are the nicest lookin fish ive had yet, very bright vibrant colours, very active as well. They only get from 6 to 10 inches i think the electric blue is 4 to 6 so that would be a good one for a 25g.
