Hey i didnt really know the meaning of wetpet but now what it is. i would like at least like a pair or so because the tank in the living room and my parents wond be happy with one random fish in there .
soo what i would like to achieve this tank is - 1 boss of the tank(The jack), acaras, firemouths. this gives me contrast and the big fish that i would like to go for. my tank dimensions are 80cmW x 42cmD x 65cmH so a big fish like jack should have enough space to swim around.
I have couple ideas for you, they’re not ideal but could work. First forget the jack or GT, ain’t gonna happen in a 50
You could do two pair, maybe something like HRPs and Rainbow cichlids or keyholes, but you have to scape it properly
Second is a severum as the tank boss and then a few smaller cichlids like the ones I listed or maybe some smaller geos and maybe a type of tough catfish like a synodontis or a BN pleco
The jack would likely kill the rest once he hits 6 inches. Maybe a severum an acara and a convict or firemouth. Still may be a bit crowded and need frequent water changes but less aggression with these.
that sounds great. i was wondering if i can put like some chilids like apistogramas or rams to finish the tank ?
I think they’re a little to small to go with a severum, but I’m not positive
alrighty. i heard if i put some dithers in there its also cut a bit of aggression between the cichlids. if that is true what should i chose ?
