my sig is off big time.. right now i have a 5 gallon with a breeding pair of 1.5 inch JB pink cons. and i have a 29 gallon with a male convict and soon to be gone male jack dempsey.. can i add a firemouth or 2 to the 29 once the JD is gone??i want to get back into keeping Firemouths. so i may get rid of my JD and my con at the same time and pick up 4 or 5 juvi FM to wait for a pair.

your fish are all WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too large to be housed in tanks the size youve listed for very long. they will outgrow them quickly, especially if you are trying to breed them. please do some research on the minimum tank size of each fish before buying them

if you cannot keep the appropriate housing, why not get fish that can do well in tanks that size? you can get rams. they are cichlids, good breeders and dont get above 3". they are colorful and active and dont need huge tanks. if you keep the fish you listed in small tanks, the odds are they wont breed anyway because they will be stressed out. you also run the risk of stunting them. not to mention that they may grow sickly or die because they will produce more waste than the tank/filters can handle. take the fish back and get ones that will thrive in a smaller tank
