I think you should lower the height and density of decoration so its more spacious for the fish. These animals live in habitats with mostly rocky and debris bottoms. And since they are big they really need the space :)

@ReaIly : thanks for the feedback! Have a look at my latest videos with the catfish. I removed one big piece of wood to create more swimming space.

@dg1998original : check out the other videos for a better impression

Would love to put only tiny fish in a tank that size.

Much better video than the others you shot during the day.

REALLY jealous of you. Amazing tank. Best of luck.

@deadtopcat : if I put small fish in this tank they have a live expectancy of about 1 second ;-) But I agree, replacing the cichlids with 500 tetra's would be awesome

@dg1998original I think its 55 at most.

@tommulders it expensive and interesting to do , i think you ve done well, i would suggest some cats , and some top minnows or charrisons or some odd balls that could keep up like large fire eel or abu abu, but i do love mixxing the right chiclids and have done it for years , its the way it should be , i once made a fresh water reef with lots of rock and crustations , snails , plants , fish , and a few odd balls like dragon fish , toadfish , loaches and shell dwellers ,, good job peace

@flakesnow2003 well dont you relise what hes done here ? hes has fish fron a geographical area living as they should in their enviroment , water quality dailed in and all these get much bigger they are not digging up his plants or killing each other and hes already got manguenisises in there , sorry but what you suggest is a nightmare of kaos , this is the way it should be rare that get along, get large  and are fish kept well if any thing this tank would benfit from some carrisons and cats

@deadtopcat i filled my 360 gallon with hundreds and hundreds of tetras once ,,, some got very large and they showed some very strange actions ,,, you could really see their cousins actions as some did act like piranah ,, and some became territorial ,, i only used mop breeders in that tank ,,, try it it is wild but expensive if you dont know an in to that world ,,, years later i still have one four inch tetra left,hes a tough guy that lives with a green terror and some convicts
