I had a 2 or 3 small african cichlids at any given time in my old 37gallon and now my 29gallon (the 37 cracked during a move). Currently there is one small Maylandia Callainos (don't think he's pure though), and one cuckoo catfish.
I've pretty much decided I've given up on african cichlids. My 29 gallon simply can't house more than 1 or 2 without having over aggression problems, even when they are small. And I'd like to put more peaceful tropical fish in at some point after the cichlid passes or I trade him in.
However, I love my cuckoo cat. he's about 3-4" long and has always been a peaceful fish unless one of the african cichlids tried to give him a hard time then he'd stand his ground, but otherwise, he likes to just hang out in the caves and such.
What tropical fish could I put in with a cuckoo? I was thinking about Gouramis, or possibly a couple Angelfish.
Any good suggestions for some pretty peaceful tropical fish that could go-exist with a synodontis cuckoo cat in a 29gallon? I'm up for pretty much any combination.
The tank's substrate is sand, and I'll be keeping it sand. not sure how this affects things.
thanks.
