Thank you for your help it's truly appreciate!
I've never had a tank of this size, with that being said. Do I need air pump or anything to generate the oxygen in the water? I have a FX6 that's moving the top water around in the tank.. Just thought I'd ask
You've got a great filter for the tank, but I like to overfilter, so if it were me, I'd add the biggest Aquaclear that I could, to give more water movement, and circulation. It isn't necessary, but I'd personally do it. If the FX6 is sufficiently aimed at the surface, it should provide enough oxygenation.
Some good advice has been provided for fish selection, but that doesn't mean that your local stores will have those exact species. I don't know which Warren you live in, but many areas have good local clubs... and if it's Ohio, there are two big Cichlid clubs, Ohio Cichlid Association, and Great Lakes CIchlid Association... they likely have members, who can help you find good quality fish, that you are have been suggested, or close substitutes.
