greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	Ok I have my community in my 75g but I want a big cichlid. Since I cant have one in my 55g I want to move my 75g community to the 55g. Would this be ok in my 55g. 2 bolivian rams 3 festivum 8 diamond tetras 7 lemon tetras 6 schwartzi cories

If I'm looking at things righti might not be, you should be fine putting those in a 55... Just be sure to keep up on the water changes and keep up the filtration... So what kind of cichlid do you want in the 75? heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

Either way the extra powerhead cant hurt anything. As for load, you are well withing stocking limits for a 55 gal tank. With regard to the sa cichlids, may I suggest green terrors. These fish have tons of personality and arent nearly as agressive as oscars or jaguars. If you are looking for a more agressive fish maybe a dempsy would work for you, again, not nearly as rowdy as an oscar or jaguar but more agressive than a green terror.
