Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	We're deciding in the next day or two between the 75 and 90g, hopefully this will be my last stocking post for a while Which of the following fish could I keep in a 75g? A 90g? I'm not interested in pairs or breeding but a variety of fish. JD severum geophagus jurupari salvini green terror I also currently have a 1.5" female con and ~3.5" male firemouth. What sort of bottom feeders could I have? (not interested in common plec) Are there any dither fish that could be kept with the above? Thanks again ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

If so than you wouldn't have any problems keeping either of those fish in a 90. If you are talking about compatibility than I would be a bit concerned with the jurapuri and the severum being in with the JD and Green Terror. Severums and Jurapuris are peaceful as far as cichlids go. BTW, go with the 90, not much of a price difference and you always want to go as big as you can afford.

Just include a lot of hiding places and keep em well fed and you shouldn't have a problem. Also, the Convict and the Firemouth would be fine in their as well. As far as bottom feeders go, you could try Pictus cats. I've always had good luck with Pictus and SA cichlids. Last edited by Dempsey fan at 10-Jan-2005 08:30
