Hello, I plan on stocking a 36" long 36 gallon tank, and my centerpiece would either be a Thorichthys Maculipinnis/Ellioti or a Thorichthys Aureus / Red Flash.
I'd like to have suggestions on what else to put with him. I don't want a pair because 'cause I'd prefer a relatively pacific community.
Would have I have enough space to add another medium size cichlid pacific cichlid and some schoolers ?
I've been told that even a single Convict would be too agressive, but what about a dwarf yellow convict, which are supposed to be less aggressive ?
Could a Dwarf Acara (Nannacara Anomala) do the job to ? I always see the Keyhole cichlids suggested due to their pacific temper, but I don't find them appealing.
I do like Rainbow Cichlids though.
Could I go with smaller ones like Rams or Apistos ? Or they're be too small and/or not from the right part of America ?
As for schoolers, I really like the opaque and yet colourful look of pencilfish, but I believe they might be too small. Is there a "medium size" kinda Pencilfish ?
Could some of those weird rainbowfish with strange and very long fins like the Blue Eyes do the job ? I've heard that the Elliotis and Aureus are very shy and could benefit from the security of seeing dither fish flying around.
What would be your suggestions ?
