New Cichlid Tank

I do know they weren't discus, oscars, rams, or angels. I also
decided against the blood parrots. They all got a bit too big for my
tank I thought.

I think you could appreciate this statement....

A friend went to a LFS and bought a $3.99 from the asst. cichlids tank...
put it in her 29g tank. 2years later, had to buy a 55g because the fish had
outgrown, meaning couldn't hardly turn around in a 12" deep tank.... he was
now 11" long. a year later, she bought a 65g 3'x2'x2' tank, and gave it to
me because she couldn't keep up with it... 2 years later, he's now 14"
long, 4.5" wide, and 11" tall....

Look at it this way... buying from an asst. cichlid tank, will guarantee
you'll get more than you paid for, but will cost you more in the
end....especially if your spouse isnt' as understanding as mine....

Aaahhh...don't tell me that. I have the perfect place for a 125gal.
tank, but ask me if I think the space will be filled anytime soon.

they sound like Africans which are commonly sold as Mixed Africans. Problem
is many or all can by Hybrids and you never quite know what you have. The
most common type of dither fish for these are large Rainbows, Silver
Dollars, large Barbs, Giant Danio's. Fish that are fast and can get away
from the Cichlids. I just added some Silver Dollars to a tank where I have 8
Caquetaia myersi and it makes a big difference in reducing species
aggression.
