New World Cichlids With This Stocking

[halfbloodprincess]

What do you suggest for stocking?

I wouldn't add the shark. If you have a viel tail variety angelfish, he could get a little nippy. I would do:
4 Angelfish
1 Severum
2 Bristlenose pleco

That would be my stock. Personally, I don't like loaches, so thats why I didn't include them. I don't know if they would do well with the stock you want...

I concur with nixing the shark as well. The angels, sevs, pleco and then I would add a shoal of some sort to act as target fish/dither fish, whichever the case may be for your fish. Perhaps something like the smaller rainbowfish or harlequin rasbora - just some smaller schooling fish that's not too small/thin so the angels don't munch on them.

I have the shark in my 29 gallon tank at the moment which also has an angel fish, and they get along fine. The shark is full grown and is not aggressive at all anymore. Maybe I could try it, and if it doesnt work out, in to the 29 gallon again! That stocking sounds fine. But could I by any chance have the yoyos?

 

[halfbloodprincess]

So yoyos or not?

 

[parker313]

Yup, they'd be fine.

So... Well I don't want firemouths. How about convicts?
