I would research which colorful cichlids go well together, and build my tank around a couple of showpiece fish. Personally, the Bolivian Rams are my favorite Cichlids right now. There's just somuch you can do with that sort of space... I would have a tough time filling it as well. |

longhairedgit   Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005 | Id go for a larger cichlid community with species like chocolate cichlids, twin spot flags etc, or perhaps have a community of victorian cichlids. |

| cichlid crazy Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 37 Registered: 01-Feb-2006 | 6x2x2 is a good sized tank for a Malawi set up (I have 1), you could have some nice sized fish in there like Fossochromis Rostratus, Nimbochromis Venustus, Protomelas of any of the types, Aulonocaras etc etc Very colourful and great fun to watch  |

Calilasseia *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003 | Hmm ... 6ft x 2ft x 2ft. How about something different? Hoplarchus psittacus, the REAL "Parrot Cichlid" from South America (and NOT a hybrid)? Take a peek here and see what you think. A bright green Cichlid that isn't a Dempsey, is much less aggressive (though still pretty feisty if it needs to be to look after itself) and a decent size too (35 cm as adults). A breeding pair of these would set you apart from the run of the mill big Cichlid keeper!  |
