Well it time to set up a new tank BUT this time not with dwarf cichlids. I have decided to try and see if I can figure out why the bigger South American cichlids are so popular I am not talking about dovi and oscars but fish like firemouths severums and some or the acaras like blues and ports if I can find them I may also get rainbow cichlids as well. I wil use driftwood since I have so much of it. I will more then likely use ( dare I say it plastic plants) because these cichlids tend to rip live one up. I will keep you all updated I am going to be setting it up to day since it going to be 72 here in Tucson today I am sorry I had to rub it in for all of you that are digging out of 3 or 4 foot of snow right now. I lived out side of Chi town for 5 years why do you think I moved to the desert I HATE SNOW. Support our troops

Cool, I love Cichlids especially mean ugly ones. I am a little excited to see what you decide on.

I am going to try to stay away from the big ones a 55 wont hold that many cichlids so Iwill be staying kinda small.

Out of the ones you are thinking about Blue Acaras and Rainbows are my favorites.....Maybe a tank full of Geos!

I had been thinking the same way I also love tetras so I will try to find some bleeding hearts so some of the others that get to a good size and can handle the ccihlids .Rainbows are fun they are not as mean as some of the others. Blue Acaras are also easy to fing here in Tucson.I will update soon
