Brian G Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have a 115gal. tank 60L X 24H X 18W. My main focus is to have 2 Fire eels, I was also thinking of having 1 Black Ghost Knifefish. And to complete the tank I was wondering if I could put in Peacock cichlids. I hear that these fish are not as aggressive as some other cichlids so my fire eels and ghost knife will be safe with them. How many peacock cichlids can I put in the tank, males vs. females ect. I will be putting in lots of rock work in the tank so there will be plenty of caves and hiding spots for the peacocks, eels, and ghostknife. I will also be putting in a maze of tunnels under the sand substrate for the eels as shelter. Some advise would be really helpfull as I have been trying to decide what to put in with the fire eels for some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I probably wouldn't mix african cichlids with a BGK. I don't know what would be compatible with eels, but I have kept a BGK with cichlids like angels, bolivian rams, and other more peaceful new world cichlids. Have you thought about not going with cichlids but another type of fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yes I am still in the process of planing my tank, so I am up to other options. I did decide that I want to keep the eels and BGK. Do you have any other suggestions ??? What other peacefull cichlids did you keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
