im torn between starting an African cichlid tank, community, or central American, i have a 55 that's housing my jacks but there going to be moved to a 75 as they grow which will leave me with an empty 55. i could always use it to grow out EBJD but id rather not. (i already have a tank setup for that) so what do you all think i should do? if you have any suggestions for stock there all welcome :grinyes:

Personally, I would go with a community of some sort. One fish in a tank is boring to me. I would use plants, so most robust American cichlids would be out. I guess it would depend on what's available. I would rule out anything that won't thrive in my tapwater, select a must have species, then build around that. Any ideas yet? Planted or not?

Africans are looking really nice but i know nothing about them :uhoh: so if i do a 55 african tank, can we make a species list? if i do community german blue ram are a must, and maybe a keyhole cichlid but im not sure..... i think im going to do african so any help would be nice

Forget the cichlids. Time for a planted river setup with rasboras, barbs and loaches.:headbang2:

I love large community tanks. You really get to begin to see more natural behavior with schooling fish and I find them so much more relaxing then tanks where the inhabitants are always nipping at each other. The South American tank could be similar to a community tank too. Get a pair or 2 of rams or a harem of apistos and a couple schools of tetras...very nice!
