How many Central American Cichlids

[Kim Molner]

Hi I just joined today, I have a Parrot fish, a gold severum and a Nicaraguense. I want more of course. But my tank is only 45 gallon. Do you think I can get one or two more, or no way. I am new to central americans. I have only had small community tanks up to now.

I love these Cichlids.

Welcome to AC!!! Kim I would put anymore in a 45 gallon. When those are full grow they are going to be tight themselves in the 45 gallon...

The Nic will get 8-9 inches... Gold sevy probably 7-8 inches, and the parrot around 8 inches also. You will need alot of cover for these guys full grown. Plenty of hiding places also....

I'm in agreement with the above, no more frish for that ank, and it would be a good idea to try to get a larger tank for the ones you have if possible.
