I'm starting my first Cichlid tank and am wondering what you all think I should put in it. I've had a number of successful community tanks in the past and am ready for something a bit different. It's a 55 gallon tank with a lot of rock caves but little plant cover. I've built the aquarium into a wall in my basement and can't wait to get it filled with fish. Let me know what you think!

Thx,
Dwayne

nice tank it really depends what cichlids are availble to u and wat u like in that size tank a 10 inch fish is max u can have so no oscars no jags no doviis no red devils no midas cichlids....... id go with somethin like firemouths, cons, blue acaras, green terrors, garmmodes, salvins, any of the Geophagus sp, severums, rainbow cichlids, Festivum, and Jack Dempsey. Thos are the most common ones available. u could go with most african cichlids except emopoerors and fontas.
