My 75 gallon has been a tank for any misfit cichlids that I have rescued or what not, and it has a very crazy mixture and the time is come to sort it out because of fish size and territory. In it there is 2 green terrors(7" and 3",3" blue acara,2 3" frontosa, 3 3-4" firemouths, 3 yellow labs 3-5", and one 3" brichardi. So as you can see I have to do some spring cleaning hahahaha! I plan to take out the 3" gt,2 frontosa( they look so good too but the firemouths are giving them a hard time),the blue acara, and the brichardi.

Wow you must be busy!

Personally I would go for all CA, SA or African cichlids in the tank.

Im thinking of some jewels maybe? Any suggestions?

well, yea, the title says it all, that tank is a MESS!!!!

Frontosa need a 125 MIN! they get round 16" and like larger groups, also, you have tangs mixed with SA cichlid, the pH range between the two is huge, i'd suggest either dropping the frontosa and the GT and doin' a tang tank, or dropping the frontosa and the africans, and pretty much just leaving the GT and the other fish, although, the GT might tear apart the other fish u'd leave with them, IMO 2GT is pretty much full stock for that tank, u might be able to go with some larger loaches (dojos) and possibly a common pleco, cus in my experiances, my SA/CA cichlids leave my sailfin alone

I know how big all the fish get and their pH preferances, but the were raised in 7.2 ( the africans ) so i just decided to kept them in it and they are doing fine. My big gt dont harm any of the fish they all know his boss, but i know this is'nt always the case with gt's.
