I work at a pet store and we get a 30% discount and I'm thinking of getting a new 75 gallon tank. I really like jewel cichlids but was told that as far as cichlids go, they're very aggressive and need a lot of room. I was thinking 5-7 of them but that might be too much. And I read they get even more aggressive if they pair off for breeding. I don't want fry (as I wouldn't know what to do with them).
These are the ones I really like the looks of. I have a lot to choose from. One of my coworkers is a resident cichlid expert but I'd like as much input as I can get.
I searched for hours but there is no place online that tells me how many I can stock. I should clarify that I understand jewels don't do well with other species and that I plan on keeping a species specific tank.
Thanks!
