New fish and tank

[Jesse]

Well, this friday I will be getting my new 33 gal fish tank and be setting it up. My lfs ordered me 6 firemouths so I can let them pair off and then I will just keep maybe one or two pair. I dont know what else to get...how bout this Elongate mbuna (Pseudotropheus elongatus) ive been reading about? They dont get that large....and they look really pretty. Any other suggestions?

I would advise against any mbuna cichlids. They need a different environment than firemouths. You could try a convict, or possibly a jewel cichlid or blue acara.

mbuna are african, firemouths are south american. the fish from each continent don't USUALLY go well together and may fight, kill, bully, etc.


edit: how rude of me. congrats on the new tank!!!
