If I go parachromis, it'll be freddies. but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. Right now, my mind is going everywhere from an oddball tank, where maybe I can have fish that won't kill a clown knife, which I'd really like to have, but everything I have now will kill them. To going parachromis... creamsicle midas... trimac... festae growout.... pikes... even allowed the word "discus" to creep back in my head (briefly). I'm just gonna slow it down, let the holidays pass, and see if I can make it to Aquamania without an impulse buy to put in the tank, then go with what I'm feeling then!

I think. LOL...

Parachromis, or amphs. Probably the best bang for you're buck. Personality and size.... But I think you have that in some of your other tanks. If I had a spare 150 I would go black nasties! Awesome fish.

I have some of the Paretroplus maculatus in my 150g with milder New Worlds (centrarchus, acaras, etc.)... They're unlike any other cichlids I've kept. And look like saltwater fish... Dave's stocks quite a few of them :)

You know... that's actually somewhat of an intriguing idea. Food for thought.

You haven't done much in way of South Americans, I don't think... How about a group of eartheaters, acaras, larger tetras, broccus, medium-sized fancy plecos? Shoot, even throw in a pair of angels while you are at it.

Just trying to think of something different for you, other than the nasties...

Congrats and happy new years, bud.

You make a really good point, Tony. I am really giving this tank some thought, because I do want to maybe go in a little different direction with this one. My addiction to CA cichlids not withstanding, it would be nice to have something a little more off the beaten path for me. I'm going to give this some considerable thought. I don't want to do what I did with the Malawi tank... get it all set up, then get bored with it and move on. So I'm really thinking this one over. SA certainly is a possibility, be it discus or what you are proposing... a lot of food for thought here.
