Would this combination work?
Aequidens portalegrensis (Port Acara)
Cryptoheros sajica (T-Bar Cichlid)
Herotilapia multispinosa (Rainbow Cichlid)
Firemouth (edit: removed from the option list)
Archocentrus sp. (Honduran Red Point)
I have a 65g with a 36x18 footprint - lots of rock formations (caves and tunnels) and some plants (in pots). My ph is 7.8, I have a fluval 405 filter, and am looking for as many mating pairs of fish as possible with no problems as a result (I'm thinking 3 pair is possible, but would 4 be too many?). I'm solid on the Rainbow Cichlid and the T-Bar, the others are optional. I was thinking of Bosemani Rainbows and Rainbow Sharks (both regular and albino) as tank mates. (seems to be a recurring theme of "rainbow" here!) What do you experienced cichlidites think? What would you recommend based on these preferences and my tank specs?
Thank you, thank you...
