There are several Gymnogeophagus you could choose from that would probably work. Depending on the tankmates and dimensions of the tank you might be able to get a severum. Again, depending on tankmates you might be able to do a male of one of the different Thorichthys (firemouths and related) species. These are Central American but very colorful. Jason |

| ungarsaurus Fingerling Posts: 24 Kudos: 20 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Jun-2004 | How about dwarf cichlid, such as a panda, cuckoo, redstripe or yellow dwarf cichlid. They all look very colourful, are S. American and are quite peacefull. I'm at the moment developing a Malami tank but was thinking of a dwarf tank before. good luck. |
