A Gold Severn
An extremely peaceful cichlid it’s got a round
body shape which you usually don’t
really see with cichlids they’re more
elongated they can get up to eight
inches and they usually need about to
degrees Fahrenheit to be comfortable
forty gallons is usually the minimum for
these fish because they can get pretty
big but you can put some other like
schooling fish in there so maybe some
smaller schooling fish and have a pretty
cool tank because these guys aren’t
aggressive.
Tiger Oscar
Can grow up to fourteen
inches long. Create a mess in the tank.
Use extra filtration and you need to be
doing some extra water changes to
keep up with their heavy bio
load these fish usually like to just
cruise around their tank they move
pretty slowly but if you throw some food
in there though they like turn into a
piranha it’s pretty cool to watch and
these fish will also like recognize you
when you walk into the room and they’ll
see you and they’ll get excited they’re
pretty nice fish.
Jack Dempsey cichlid
these guys are semi
aggressive so I wouldn’t put this with
the severum but they can go with some
other more aggressive fish and handle
themselves. These guys can get up to ten
inches and they need about the same
temperature as an Oscar to and
these fish are I have this one
recommended because these guys are
extremely Hardy they can adapt to many
different water parameters and
have one of my favorite color schemes
with the blue until like a black this is
probably my most recommended starting
cichlid.
Blue Ram cichlid
they got that nice like yellow –
electric blue coloration this was this
is one of the fish actually on my top
fish for beginners these guys only get
about three inches along they’re very
peaceful as long as you give them enough
space to kind of have their own little
territory they need a bit higher
temperature about to these guys
are really good if you want to get into
breeding but the hardiness is where it’s
kind of a problem because they need
establish water they might die.
Peacock Cichlid
these guys have a
really cool dorsal fin and they come in
tons of different color variations they
get up to six inches in size and they
need about 70 degrees
Farenheit water to be comfortable they
like to have caves and like rocks and
you often see these in cichlid tanks
with lots of other cichlids these guys
also need a high pH.
