Re: cichlid tank
What size tank?
What interests you? Activity? Breeding?
There are many hundreds of Cichlid species around, The choices are huge.

Re: cichlid tank
not sure about gallons because it was given to me but its pretty big i would say between 40-50 gallons
i basically wanna do cichlids for color and activity...plus adding a non puffer tank to the collection may be a nice change lol
