What kind of cichlid would you choose for a 180 gallon tank?

Jeremy S · May 20, 2003

I am going to start up a 180 gallon cichlid tank and I’m either going to keep a pair of oscars with some other large cichlids or a bunch of smaller cichlids like The Electric Yellow Cichlid and the Red Zebra cichlid. If you could choose between the two types of cichlids what would you keep?

I'd keep a larger one of the Central Americans on its own.

if you are looking to keep multiples go with the african's, if you want power and grace in your tank, get a jag

optix, what is the full name of the jag fish?

optix · May 20, 2003

its a jaguar "Cichlasoma managuense"

i would go with a pair of jags if you can get them, or golden jaguars they are cool too

could you have a pair of dovii in that size tank? Great fish. So are jags!

No way on the wolve's. I definatly can not see that happening

Those Wolves would probably not stand for each other being in that same tank...

I would probably get an arowana with a couple of oscars. But that is just me.
