I have a new 400l tank and want to stock with CA/SA cichlids. I was thinking maybe 3 out of Oscar, green terror, Jack Dempsey, severum, and maybe 6 silver dollars, or some convicts.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice about this? I have a feeling a may not have enough room for the silver dollars......In which case is there another shoaling type fish that I could add instead?
Also, in terms of cycling the tank, what fish would help with this, and be compatible with the above?
Finally, none of this matters right now, as I can’t go out to buy anything (although I’d love to try to describe this as an essential!) and have never purchased fish online, and not sure whether it’s better to give a small business some trade, or not be encouraging them to go out.
