    yes i agree, i have a 75gal Mubma African Cichlids and a 140gal American Cichlids tanks,,,, and the American Cichlids are so much more peaceful living together,,, much more peaceful to look at.....keep up the great work C. BROS.👍🏾

    I'm mostly into planted tanks so I keep mostly dwarf cichilds. I really like the South American cichlid tank and I see why it's #1 on your list but the shellys tank is my favorite hands down. I love this tank! Liked

Lastly since I'm unlikely to be able to have real plants, which plastic ones do you use please and make. Any advice would be really appreciated thanks

    Great list of options I like the idea of a planted discus tank the best with some tetras schooling. Another option to add to your list would be a breeding group of peacocks like the red top Lawanda, one male to three to five females in a 75 gallon. The mail would be an absolute stunner in breeding colors most of the time.

    Seriously awesome video. The SA community is my dream tank, but I have a question for the Cichlid Bros about tanks of these sizes. How do you do water changes? I've always had to use buckets and a normal siphon due to not having a compatible sink with the python, and I feel like doing water changes for a tank that big would take ages 5 gallons at a time. Is there any tips for large tank water changes? Thanks!

    • @sap1281

    Hey Troy, I have a very similar stocking in my sa/ca community tank. I agree with you that it is the best. You might want to consider a firemouth. They are pretty peaceful (in my experience), have great color, and an interesting personality. Very underrated cichlid. We always have one and it is a family favorite. My daughter and I love watching your videos. Thanks.

    Hey! Long time viewer, love your channel and been alot of help over the years. Regarding the predator tank I currently have a 55g and recently bought a 90g to upgrade for my livingroom aquarium. I currently have a 7" male True Blue Acara who's a little on the rougher side of aggression. He like to attempt to breed with my blood parrot which they've never been successful. I've fallen in love with your Jack Demsey and was looking into one of my own with maybe a firemouth. Do you think it's enough space to accomodate that kind of combo? I wanted geophagus but I dont think this'll be enough space for a group that large... Would love your input on how to make it work.

    Only fish that are constantly sparing are the Nicaragua cichlids with each other ( Both females ) and the acara seems to not like both of them at all. Thier territorys are close and somehow they all seem to want the roots base. Acara left and nicaraguas the back and front anyone moves into the others space and they spar. Without touching each other. Mouths wide open and gills flaired. 😅

    So: geophagus tapajos, firemouth, electric blue acara, rainbow cichlid. What else could I add? (I think a Severum would be too big. Could I add smaller rams like bolivians or other cichlids like a Keyholes? Do you think I could any other larger cichlids that would work with the main 4? Other ideas may include like a rainbow shark or denison barbs. Any advice would be great. Thanks guys. Love your channel.

      I really like the idea of Denison barbs. I was thinking about adding some to my 75 as well. That core group you have should work nicely. Keyholes might be okay if you don’t get one too small to start. Rams might need higher temps than the rest so might be best to avoid. Jurupari could be a nice addition to that group, very peaceful.

    I used to have a jack Dempsey, we had to put him down when he started to die. He lived for 13 years, we had gotten “e-or” for free because his siblings were eating “e-or’s” tall. RIP.

    I’ve been in the hobby for about 30 yrs and have had both S.Americans and Africans, but over all I like S.Americans as they’re more personable. Not taking anything away from African cichlids as there are some beautiful species, but the S.Americans have more of a laid back style like I do.

    I had a pair of tiger Oscars that I bought at a Walmart believe it or not lol but they were tiny when i got them i had them for several years and they grew up great both would eat from my fingers and follow me around the tank like puppies I loved them sadly I ended up having to move to a place I could no longer keep an aquarium so I gave them to my sister with an agreement that if/when she no longer wanted it I would have 1st chance of getting it back and I did years later but my puppies were long gone and I never had the luck to get 2 at once and raise them together and live that long again I gave up after awhile and just gave everything to a random person at a pet store 😢

      the JD and GT might be okay, although its a bit tight. the jag would need a larger tank long term though

    Tropheus don't get a mention... 😯😲. They are the nicest of all cichlids in my opinion.. but they are a pain to keep also..
