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

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
