Hi everyone. Back at the forum after a leave of absence. Since my Brichardi's began breeding about a year ago, I've had to get another tank (20 gal tall) to accomodate all of my other fish that were in my 30 Gallon long at the time. I still have about 60 Brichardi fry ranging in size from 2" to about 1/2". Once I'm able to find homes for the remaining fry (probably the LFS and neighbors), I'd like to start over with something for the 30 Gallon long. I'd like something large (as accomodating as a 30 gallon long can be) to put in the tank. Was thinking about an Oscar or Jack Dempsey, but those really require at least a 55 gallon...not in the budget right now. Any ideas on something that will grow to it's potential in a 30 gallon long? It's OK if it's only 1 or 2 fish. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and support.

Firemouths, convicts, Kribs, Rams.

Or a breeding pair of Jewels.

Fire mouths would do great in a 30 Gallon

I'm leaning toward the Firemouths. Looked at some the other day at the LFS while there to donate about 20 Brichardi fry. Can I put a couple of Firemouths in with the fry? Still have about 30-40 fry in the tank. It will probably be a few months before they are big enough to give to the LFS. The remaining fry are ranging in size from aout 1/2" to 1 1/2". Thanks for your help
