Hi all,
I am thinking of having a south american cichlid tank. I have a 29 gallon tank that I am now in the process of cycling. I am thinking of having semi-aggressive fish. Any suggestions on what fish I might get for the size of my tank?

South American cichlids tend to be either very peaceful or very aggressive, so this is a tougher question than it seems, to find one that is semi-agressive for you. As a general suggestion, you might look into the acaras, as some of them are more in-between in temperament, and appropriate in size for your 29-gallon tank.

Hi Dupja,
Sure ya do... You were looking for some semi-agressive fish, South American Cichlids. A 29 gallon tank is kinda
small for most of them and the suggestion was for you to
check the Acaras as they will fit the bill... I'd go with
the dwarfs ... Simply search on the word "Acaras" as I did
and you will find 10+ pages of information.

Go through each of the sites till you find what interests
you, and then start looking for a source so you can order
them.

Frank

THanks Frank,
I will check into those. I have only had an african cichlid tank before and I wanted to try something new. I have it set up for a south american tank now so I just need to find some fish.
