fullychichlid Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi mate If you are going to put a single fish in the Tank go a Green terror or Jack Dempsy. Males look heaps nice and they become great pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Eckies 2 pair of Firemouths and watch them flair at each other from their breeding territory group of 4 - 6 Red Humps and watch the the males have spasms when they are breeding or African riverine with Lionhead or Tinanti or one of the Pelvicachromis species and a school of Congo tetra Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maskedman Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 The terrors are great as a solo with a plec or largish catfish. So are Severums. You could do the colony of convicts. Brown Acara, Curviceps, Festivum, Salvinis, Sajica & the Firemouths would all go ok as pairs. You could always look at some of the dwarfs & kribs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maskedman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm not from over your way but you could try Got Fish Aquariums. They are in Adelaide. Don't just go by what's in the tanks either, ask if they can order fish for you, then be prepared to wait for them. If not, Vebas Aquariums in Perth would ship too you, for the right price. They have americans & import from O.S. as well. But you do have to be prepared to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
