What would be a good setup for a 38g tank foot print 36x12x18. So far I have one Thorichthys, at about 3'' I was looking for other companions that are of similar stature. Fairly large, active, etc. Thanks

So your Thorichthys is a Fire Mouth, or is it a heller cichlid?

we're not exactly sure what it is. some say it's a firemouth but I don't think it is. I believe the consensus is it's probably a maculipinnis or a mixteco blue. If there's an lfs around that orders from Jeff Rapps it could be either one.

you could probably go with some tiger barbs or some platys, mollies or swordtails. Personally, I'd get some platys and then wait for the cichlid to grow and color up a bit more so a positive ID can be determined and then get a mate for it.
