    hey guys , I am planning on getting a 75g tank soon and I want medium sized South American cichlids I can house with medium sized catfish , any suggestions on the cichlids ?
    and yes I know , going up to a 125g would be easier but not sure if I have space
    -My only idea so far is an Oscar

    Thanks!

    i assume you mean 4 foot or 250ltr tank?
    if you want larger fish
    great tank for single oscar, or pair of blue accar or sevrums

    yes but that is a central american cichlid
    central there are some great options for 4 foot
    jack demesy, convicts, green terrors, firemouth and salvini
    would suggest going male only thou if you want comuinty
