Hi, as many of you may know, I am buying a 75 gallon tank and can't decide what kind of SA/CA cichlids to put in. The tank messures 48"x18"x20", and I hear that it's a good size to start with. My problem is that there are many fish that I like, but I don't want to fall into the trap of keeping 10 aggressive cichlids in a 75 gallon. I would like the fish or fishes to be personable, active and colourful. Anything from semi-aggressive to nasty is ok wih me. Any stocking suggestions will be valued greatly. Thanks!

Oscars are personable...somewhat colourful...and have higher activity levels.

What about a green terror, dempsey, and another aggressive cichlid (texas maybe).

jaguar and golden jagur are always good fish!
or you could go slightly community with like firemouths/blue acaras

if it were my tank I'd do one of these:
1) 2 oscar's 1 firemouth & 2 pictus
2) 1 male jack 1 male con 1 syn. eup
3) 1 male Jag possibly a syn. eup.

I'd also do a male green terror with a male con and a syn. eup.
