Goldeneye Cichlids

[recky]

Sorry for my constent questions, my field is in tetras and other community fish but im getting into south american cichlids. I am going to get a 100gallon tank, and have a pretty solid set up so far, 1 firemouth, 1 blue acara, 1 severum, 2 red-striped eartheaters, 5 silver dollars, and either a senegal bichir or a pair of clown loaches( i like keeping um in pairs ive had good experiances this way, if they seem to shy i would add more), and a large school of buenos aires tetras. So my question is could i also add a pair or two of theis goldeneye cichlids, ive researched that they grow to about 6.5 cm but want others opinions. I plan on having lots of driftwood and rock caves, i have to wait a couple months so i have plenty of planning time for suggestions, thanks.

I would say no. Nannacara anomala are a j.a.w. fish IMHO (just add water) that breed very easy. This can very much disrupt the balance of the tank if they start to breed (assuming that you have a proper ratio of male to female fish). On the opposite side of the spectrum they are a very peacefull dwarf cichlid that could possibly be harrased by the other more aggresive fish that are currently in the tank. So in short I would definatly say no. I would also get a little advise on the current stocking of your tank. I hoped this helped a little bit.

yeah, while the nannacara make a great addition to a community tank I think your fish are a little bit big and boisterous for them.

Ok thank you for the advice.

Nannacara are a great choice , very ineresting fish ..............just a little small for those others you've got in the tank .

Go dwarf sized fish
