	Complimentary cichlids
Kellyjhw Big Fish My bubble... Posts: 405 Kudos: 217 Votes: 471 Registered: 22-Nov-2008	I will have to move at least 2 of my Angles to a secondary tank. Are there any other cichlids that are complimentary to Angels? I don't want them to constantly bicker but be great tank companions. (You know, you live in your space, I live in mine.) I also don't want to have to worry about cross breeding or one eating the other. The possible size of the tank could be 30gal. If my husband gets his way, it will be a 75gal.

They killed one smaller and they've been fighting ever since. Now, I have a mated pair and a second matured male terrorizing the other 2 Angels. The other 2 are stuck in the middle of the 3 fighting (pair and single male). To top it off, I can't sex the 2 stuck in the middle yet. (they haven't matured enough yet to show.)

Now, I've got to find companion fish. I don't want the same as what I have in the 55gal. So, no black ruby barbs, no neon tetras, and maybe no yoyo loaches... (the hubby likes them so, he may insist on more.) Any suggestions on new companion fish? I do plan on planting the tank. But since I'm short, I don't want to use plants that will have to be trimmed and replanted on a regular basis. This time it will mostly be anubia and crypt plants. TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o}
