Amazing list! I’ve got a 90 Gallon in order and I’m split on stocking between South American and Central so would love a list for Central 👍🏼 love the format of listing setup ideas rather than just what fish to keep! Much more interesting for me personally!!
Troy, Great video on South American cichlids. I have a 90 gal stocked with a red devil, JD, green terror, chocolate cichlid, a turquoise Severus and a golden severum. I love the Central American and South American cichlids. I have about 9 Buenos Aires tetras as dither fish. I added a few catfish in the bottom ones you recommended a while ago. All beautiful fish. I have a lot of filtration 2 tidal 110s and a internal xpertmatic canister filter. And one sponge filter lol. I know 4 things of filtration is that over kill? No plants though. I have a planted 55 gal tank with a EBA and a Jewel cichlid, 2 rams, 4 Denison barbs, 6 giant danios, 5 different rainbow fish, 8 red eye tetras, 2 golden wonder killi fish. Some bottom feeders as well. I also have a planted 20 long with a Kribensis as the center piece and Mixed nano fish. I love planted tanks. Appreciate the video man. Can’t wait for the Central American cichlid video.
Man, this makes my choice harder for the 210 coming in next week lol. Debating between SA Cichlids and a large planted community. Ugh. Lovely video as always guys.
Love the ideas. I’ve slowly been building a SA cichlid tank with an angelfish, severum, Bolivian ram and geophagus jurupari. There’s a school of scissortail rasboras with them and it makes for a fun tank to watch.
@@CichlidBros thank you. My main question for my tank is if I wanted to add another geophagus, do I need to get a jurupari or would another type work fine. (The jurupari I just got in June.)
@@rustyberry4405 Personally I have Geophagus Altifrons & Geophagus Tapajos. They get along just fine and even group together even though they are different types. They’ve never had an altercation between the two types but funnily enough the Tapajos had an altercation with eachother but it only happened once since I’ve had them.
After watching so many of your videos I can’t decide on what to stock my 75 gallon with. It’s been 2 weeks lol. :( I was hoping you can give me more combo ideas like the eba/severum/ geophagus. Also a huge fan of the jack dempsey but not sure what else will do good with it in a 75 gallon. Thank you, amazing videos!
Insight please: Tank Setup - 125 Gallon - Fx6 for filtration - AQUATOP FZ13 FORZA 550 GPH Canister just running bio balls w/ no filtration). - 50% water change every 2 weeks Question is can I add a few more fish. Looking to add a few more tap geos. Currently have 3 and 2 paired off and have been laying eggs. Also have 2 severum, 6 large fin tetras and 15-20 buenos aires tetra. Would like to add 2-3 more geos and 1-2 electric blue acara?
Love the content! Quick question I have a 40g with an male red devil and a blue dwarf with a couple schooling tetras mollies plecos and Cory’s would I be able to introduce a dwarf cicicilid I really want to add a blue ram or a Bolivian or even a Apisisto? Would love the feed back
I've just upgraded to a 180g tank and love the idea of stocking the tank with "the trio". How many of each cichlid would you recommend for a tank that size?
Great video!Thank you for the combinations Troy.I have 4 Red Spot Severum.I want to add the Electric Blue Acara,and Geophagus.(90Gallon)How many Electric Blue Acara and Geophagus can I safely add?Thank you in advance .
I’m planning a 150g setup. 72”x18”x27”. Thinking a couple of acaras, 1 Severum, 5-6 Roseline Sharks, couple of plecos and 6-7 geophagus. Which geophagus would work best? My top 3, in order are Altrifons, Sveni and Red Heat Tapajos.
I have a 90 gallon that im thinking of doing 2 severums, 2 Electric Blues and 4-5 tapajos. Is this ok regarding the tank size for all those fish? (Assuming I have plenty of filtration)
Hi I m currently trying to get as much information and knowledge as possible before I decide what type of fish I would like, my question is could it be possible to mix any small dwarf / nano cichlid s ? Rams, appiso s ? And how big does the smallest geo grow to please ?
Your tank looks amazing! We have a question: We have a Jack Dempsey and a Pleco, both bought about 1,5 years ago as juveniles. About a year ago, the Jack started to hide and is very timid. Pleco and Jack ignore each other. Why is our Jack so shy and hides in the whole he made under the wood? There are plants and rock in the tank. 90 gallon tank
Hey, love your videos. I am currently setting up a 100 gallon 5 foot SA tank and wondered if I could get some advice I am looking to stock with 1 Oscar, 1 Blue Acara, 1 Severum, 4 Geophagus, 5 Silver Dollars. Is this going to be okay for that size of tank?
Can I do change every 2 months in my 4ft aquarium with canister filter because my water is clean .I have only one fish in my fish tank thanking you in advanced
Hello, I have a 29 community, 30 community, 75 ebuma. Getting ready to set up 90 rectangle. I would like Africans again, but after watching this video I want to go in and direction. What would you recommend?
Hey if you have the time I have a few questions about my South American cichlid tank, I have 2 Severum, 2 Geophagus (smaller species), an electric blue acarra, and a few wild cards I threw in there (one pleco and 2 pictus catfish)
And I am aware the pleco will eventually out grow the tank, I have plans in the future of either giving him to a local fish shop or putting him in a much larger tank
Anyways, please reach out lol I can send some videos of the tank so you have a better idea of what’s going on but I love the videos man ur awesome, I trust you know a lot more that I do😭
Hey Troy, love your videos! So I just got a 90 gal, standard size and I’m going with the trio you always talk about. I already have 6 EBA in a couple other tanks and love them, so obviously adding them. So what’s your suggestion on quantity of EBA, Severum and leaning towards Topajo since they a bit smaller than the Sveni. But I’ll gladly take your suggestions on both Geos, with EBA and Severum in the 90. Thanks Bro!
Kind of off topic since I have African cichlids in a 75 gallon…anyways I’m having nitrate problems, which I find weird since I have no nitrites or ammonia when I test the water. I use seachem prime with every water change and it says that it detoxifies nitrates. What’s the easiest way besides plants to get rid of nitrates. I just ordered matrix as well. Thanks
Prime may detoxify nitrates, but it won't make the test results any different. Have you tested your tap water? Lots of it is high in nitrates straight from the faucet.
I'm building a indoor south American cichlid pond in my sun/living room. Already know the algae growth will be terrible so I plan to have a pleco. Either a sailfin, Brazilian, or a sunshine pleco. I want to stock the 180gal pond and I plan to end on an Oscar in the community. I wanted to ask how I can do it or if there isn't enough space for this variety to be comfortable Here is my current dream list not in order of when I am buying them: Tiger Oscar, One of three plecos, Silver dollars (maybe this is where schooling numbers confuse me) Gold Severum, Electric Blue Acara, Maybe some geophagus clown loaches... as much excitement as I have for the Jack Dempsey, I keep talking myself out of ever putting it in my pond there have been too many comments on them being awful against an oscar. Is it doable to do all of this list proportionately to have variety yet also no overcrowding. The aquascape will be sand, rock, drift wood, and artificial plants. Can I please have help stocking this? I've been keeping fish tanks for close to a decade now, but the last tank I had of this nature was an african cichlid tank consisting strictly of a peacock cichlid, Danios, 2 snails, and a nice amount of guppies (yes they bred, yes they were food.) All of which were healthy and happy aside from a periodic guppy. In a gigantic tank I housed a tigershovel nose cat, blue cat, oscar, and a bass (they all respected each other and never messed with each other) I kept all of these massive tanks until I moved into an apartment for work... then an aquarist friend of mine bought them from me... last I checked he had upgraded their tanks and finally separated the oscar. Now that I am no longer in an apartment and in a permanent place I wanted to do another big set up. It's just been a few years of 20gal-less so I don't want to get too carried away with stocking, but I am very excited for this build. How do I appropriately stock from this list?
I love the driftwood centerpiece in your aquarium. Any tips or recommendations of places to get large driftwood? I’m trying to set up 125 gallon American Cichlid tank and I’m having difficulty finding driftwood pieces large enough for my needs.
Hi there. Just found your channel and subscribed. I have a question, it’s not about this video but I thought I would ask on this vid, as it’s your most recent video. It’s about tank mates for Apistogramma’s. Do you think they would be ok with Pearl Gourami’s???? I have been asked if I would like a pair but I already have a male and two females pearls. Don’t want to say yes and it all goes belly up with fighting. Hope to hear your opinion. It’s a 180 litre planted tank. Which I think is about 45 US gallons. I am from the UK and we use litres.
I’ve got a tank with Oscar, Jack Dempsey, 2 blue acara, Geophagus, 2 Severum, bichir, 6 rainbow fish, 6 red phantom tetra and they’re all great together
First let me say I’m a new Subscriber and I love you guys already. I’m a beginner to SA/CA cichlids and I currently have a Red Devil, Jaguar and a Salvini in a 100 gallon. They are all juvenile. Do you all have any recommendations as a 4th fish for my tank? Dovii(Wolf) didn’t work.
@@CichlidBros The guy at the local fish shop recommended a Green Terror. I really liked the color on it. What do you think about that? If so do you do recommend the Jack over the Green Terror?
I would definitely say water quality is the main cause. HITH usually occurs with tanks that aren’t properly maintained and have high nitrates for long periods
Hey !! Im frm india ...i really love African chiclids and i wanna keep them in a 50 Gallon tank ...cn i add peacock with mbuna or shuld it be only mbuna or only peacock?? Im planning to keep some 10 peacocks and 2 -3 mbuna (2-3 inch) like jalo reef ..can i do this or cn u lemme know what suits well and better for fish
I finally got an interesting stocking Severum juvenile Single geophagus altrifon Albino heckelii pair A guianacara An angelfish With Yo-yo loaches Neon blue rainbows All living peacefully!!
I’m setting up a 75 gallon living room display tank. Gonna go with the trio you mentioned. 1 Severum 1 EBA 3 geo tapajos 8-10 Colombian tetras Do you think I could add like 3 synodontis lucipinnis in there as well? Or maybe just a couple of bushy nose plecos? Thanks! Love the content!
The Oscar cichlids are too much of hassle. They eat all the food fast and poop like crazy. My favorite(s) cichlids are Red Devil, Green Terror, Firemouth, Jack Dempsey and Ram. Great info here!👍
Hey there a guy who is new in this space. Will you recommend all above to beginners? If yes then how much gallon tank and how many in no.s? If no,Can you recommend other chichilds who can be put into 75 gallon tank and are not poop freaks?
The only time I do a solo fish is if it’s so aggressive that it kills anything I put in the tank with it I do have an Oscar who’s solo right now but only because his mate died I will eventually have more fish with him because he’s not super aggressive🐠💙🔥
the thing with oscars people either forget or dont know is that they make great pets, and if poss you could walk them, they like being centre of attention and act like the oet cat or dog, great personality if your lucky enough to get the right one
I have a tiger Oscar, jack Dempsey, turquoise Severum, firemouth cichlid, blue Acara, and a gold nugget in a 180 gallon. The blue acara would pick on the Oscar but now he’s bigger and more powerful so he backs off now 😂
@@CichlidBros I do like the Lemon Oscars and the Platinums they look awesome. I was a African Cichlid keeper for years and just got into South American cichlids. I still have a 75g with Africans though and got one hell of a good breeding pair of Gold Calvus they breed like Convicts lol!
I there really no way to put severums insiders A planted tank? I really want severums but I also want Some plants in there. Your channels rock Guys! 🫶🏻
Literally the exact video I was waiting for.
i literally need this so much
I'm currently setting up my own cichlid tank, I have been enjoying watching a lot of your videos new and old
Amazing list! I’ve got a 90 Gallon in order and I’m split on stocking between South American and Central so would love a list for Central 👍🏼 love the format of listing setup ideas rather than just what fish to keep! Much more interesting for me personally!!
Great job Cichlid Bros. You bring nuances of fish keeping, something I never find anywhere else.
Thank you!
Awesome vid Troy, nice haircut too! I love the Discus and think I’d want a school of Cardinal Tetras with them, and a few albino Plecos ❤ 🐠 👍
Been a min since I have seen a vid from you guys. Love the ideas!

Haha, lot of good options out there! Can't really go wrong
Keen on a central American vid, this was awesome info
The Oscar starts dancing around when you point at him at 1:37 🤣
He’s a character for sure
Love the electric blue acara and severum combo

Could I keep 2 electric blue acara and angle fish, if so how many angel fish and Cory catfish
African cichlids would be good I keep mbuna and can watch them for hours.the mix of colour you get is quite good to.
Amazing list I have two Oscar’s a breeder pair of blood parrots and a Severums
Love the content! Quick question I have a 40g with an male red devil and a blue dwarf with a couple schooling tetras mollies plecos and Cory’s would I be able to introduce a dwarf cicicilid I really want to add a blue ram or a Bolivian or even a Apisisto? Would love the feed back

Some nice mixes of fish recommendations! Would you say Oscar's and severums can work well in a 120 gallon (4ftx2ftwide) ?
Thanks
Aaron
I have 4 red spot severums in an 86 gallon tank os that ok?
Hey, love your videos. I am currently setting up a 100 gallon 5 foot SA tank and wondered if I could get some advice I am looking to stock with 1 Oscar, 1 Blue Acara, 1 Severum, 4 Geophagus, 5 Silver Dollars. Is this going to be okay for that size of tank?
I wish I could get a stingray but I live in Texas and it’s illegal to own them here any advice? Is there a way around it like permits or license?
In a 55 gallon, is it possible to house a 2/3 severums. If so how much do you think would be the most?
It would be a really tight fit once they’re adults. I typically recommend one for a 75 gallon, and larger for more than one
Can I do change every 2 months in my 4ft aquarium with canister filter because my water is clean .I have only one fish in my fish tank thanking you in advanced
You need to get some ropefish. I have them with my severum geo’s and electric blue acara. They are just as cool to watch as the geo’s

@@CichlidBrosthank you!
can you help me with 3 different cichlids that can co exist in 75 gallon and where to purchase
I saw some of EBA babies at aquarium adventure in Bolingbrook/Woodridge, are they by any chance yours?
What about keeping various species of Geos together?
Definitely works in a lot of cases

I had a solo Texas Cichlid for over 10 years.
I’ve got a tank with Oscar, Jack Dempsey, 2 blue acara, Geophagus, 2 Severum, bichir, 6 rainbow fish, 6 red phantom tetra and they’re all great together
How big is your tank bru ?
First let me say I’m a new Subscriber and I love you guys already. I’m a beginner to SA/CA cichlids and I currently have a Red Devil, Jaguar and a Salvini in a 100 gallon. They are all juvenile. Do you all have any recommendations as a 4th fish for my tank? Dovii(Wolf) didn’t work.
Welcome to the channel! Those are some pretty aggressive cichlids. You could try a Jack Dempsey or Convict
@@CichlidBros The guy at the local fish shop recommended a Green Terror. I really liked the color on it. What do you think about that? If so do you do recommend the Jack over the Green Terror?
Hey bro, are Oscars still super bad with HIH? Is it really about just water quality and avoiding live food?
How to prevent it?
I would definitely say water quality is the main cause. HITH usually occurs with tanks that aren’t properly maintained and have high nitrates for long periods
@@CichlidBros Yeah I believe that too, but dang even with regular water tests and good food I've had uarus and others still get it, makes me insane
Hey !! Im frm india ...i really love African chiclids and i wanna keep them in a 50 Gallon tank ...cn i add peacock with mbuna or shuld it be only mbuna or only peacock?? Im planning to keep some 10 peacocks and 2 -3 mbuna (2-3 inch) like jalo reef ..can i do this or cn u lemme know what suits well and better for fish
My best one was red devil cichlid crazy fish
I finally got an interesting stocking
Severum juvenile
Single geophagus altrifon
Albino heckelii pair
A guianacara
An angelfish
With
Yo-yo loaches
Neon blue rainbows
All living peacefully!!
Very nice!
Try an electric blue jack dempsey for a non aggressive cichlid, I’ve kept them with everything from Oscar’s to guppies for over a decade
Central American so not on this list
I have some geos but they’re growing so slow! Is this normal?
Geos do grow pretty slow
I’m setting up a 75 gallon living room display tank. Gonna go with the trio you mentioned.
1 Severum
1 EBA
3 geo tapajos
8-10 Colombian tetras
Do you think I could add like 3 synodontis lucipinnis in there as well? Or maybe just a couple of bushy nose plecos? Thanks! Love the content!
TY
The Oscar cichlids are too much of hassle. They eat all the food fast and poop like crazy. My favorite(s) cichlids are Red Devil, Green Terror, Firemouth, Jack Dempsey and Ram. Great info here!👍
Hey there a guy who is new in this space.
Will you recommend all above to beginners?
If yes then how much gallon tank and how many in no.s?
If no,Can you recommend other chichilds who can be put into 75 gallon tank and are not poop freaks?
I was waiting for red jwel cichlid 😢. Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Jewels are from Africa, so would be on a separate list
If only severums could live with plants ❤
Are oscars more popular than angelfish and discus?
If you surveyed our community, then yes
The only time I do a solo fish is if it’s so aggressive that it kills anything I put in the tank with it I do have an Oscar who’s solo right now but only because his mate died I will eventually have more fish with him because he’s not super aggressive🐠💙🔥

Yep, they’re the best!
Chilli red Oscars are the best
Hi, i am from India. Please guide me for food also
I have a tiger Oscar, jack Dempsey, turquoise Severum, firemouth cichlid, blue Acara, and a gold nugget in a 180 gallon. The blue acara would pick on the Oscar but now he’s bigger and more powerful so he backs off now 😂
Mencari refrensi aquarium cichlid disini 😇 11:21
Chocolates are the best imo.
Will an Oscar be fine with a few Severums and geos in a 125
Great looking tank, All of your fish look great, I hate Oscars though to me they are the ugliest fish ever! I am a Jack Dempsey fan myself.
Thank you! To each their own. I love Oscars
@@CichlidBros I do like the Lemon Oscars and the Platinums they look awesome. I was a African Cichlid keeper for years and just got into South American cichlids. I still have a 75g with Africans though and got one hell of a good breeding pair of Gold Calvus they breed like Convicts lol!
never have luck with angel fish they're almost always too aggressive
Comment for algorithm
Haha thanks
You can sell me some of them acaras
DM us on Instagram if you’re in the Chicagoland area
I disagree about the oscar they should be kept in a 125 minimum thats a potential 14" foot bro
That’s what I said bro
Can I ask you a question on Instagram?
Yep
I there really no way to put severums insiders A planted tank? I really want severums but I also want Some plants in there. Your channels rock Guys! 🫶🏻
I’ve found severums to eat any/all plants I’ve tried. Eventually they’ll go after anything. Thanks for watching!
