Next Cichlid?

[Panthera Onca]

Ok, I've done the Angels, and they are still going strong. I've been wanting to possibly start a cichlid tank and I was wondering what you would suggest as a "second beginner" cichlid. I know quite a few people reccomend Eletric Yellow Cichlids, and I was wondering what would be another suggestion.

I would have posted on this earlier but the site was acting up again and couldn't get in here.

Well do you have any ideas which way you want to go? South American, central american or African? Looking for color, activity, both? What size tank?

Electric Yellows are a good cichlid to move on to, its easy to keep, colorful and active and will get you started on the african side of things. They are common too, so you shouldn't have to much trouble finding some.

I've taken to the African side. I find them to be very active and fun to watch. They also have great color.

Right now I have
1 Electric Blue
1 Lg Asst. African Cichlid
2 Electric Yellow

planning to add:
Red Peacock
Johanii
Cherry Red Morell

after my water chemistry levels off.
