Please log in for more thread options hi, this is my first post here, i think (may have posted one other on
here before). anyways, so i have a birthday coming up next month and
i'm looking to get a bigger aquarium than the 29g that i have now. I'm
looking at getting a 55-72g, and originally i was thinking of getting
balas and oscars, but now i'm thinking of maybe a cichlid only tank. I
definately want at least one oscar, but i don't want just one fish all
by it self in there so what other fish couldi put in there? i heard
somewhere that a jack dempsey could be a good tankmate, but i heard
they are extremely territorial fish, convicts were other fish i have
wanted to put in my 29g, but someone said they would terrorize the 5
gouramis i have there, so maybe those could go in with oscars? there's
somebody who lives nearby who's convicts keep breeding and is selling
baby's at $0.50 ea.

Jacks get upto 10" long. 6 in a 55 is way too many. They are easy to care
for but will always be digging in the gravel and uprooting plants. Maybe you
could just find a breeding pair.
http://www.aquabid.com/ This is a good place to look.
Good luck,
