I'm interested in putting 2-3 big cichlids in my 75g.

some I've considered:

oscars - nice, but everyone has oscars..
jack dempsey - nice too, a maybe
severum - nice, but kind of boring to watch. kind of like fat discus..
jaguar - love one, but they get too big for a 75g..
convicts - very interesting..

Any others suggestions?

The tank will be empty when I start adding these guys.. It has a Rena XP3, a sand substrate and a few large pieces of driftwood..
 
Perhaps a flowerhorn or midas cichlid? Your other options for your list are: several convicts OR one oscar OR 1-2 JD's OR a few sevs.
 
don't like Flowerhorns and I thought a midas was along the lins of a jaguar as far as size goes? not a huge fan of them, but it's worth a look I guess..

and yeah, my list wasn't meant to say I want ALL of those.. That'd be insane within a couple years..

what about firemouths?
 
firemouths are pretty cool but not that big...if i were you i would do a nice red devil very cool fish
 
Firemouths and cutteri would make for a sweet setup..

Say about 6 to 7 firemouths and 4 to 5 cutteri, the reds from the firemouth would look sweet with the blue eyes of the cutteri and the yellow hues.. but these arent large fish by no means but would be cool..

Good luck buddy..
 
i dunno. i enjoy the heck out of my convicts. lots of personality and are active. mine recognize me as the source of food, so when they see me they come straight to the front of the tank and chase me around
