New Cichlid
just as an opinion poll sorta thing here. I've been moving fish around to form some sort of order in the fish room and I've now got a spare 6 footer.
If you were me, what cichlid would you get. I'm really spoilt for choice at the moment and I can't decide what to get.

nah oscars are boring now. I've got loads of cichlids that are much more fun than oscars.
Problem is finding something i haven't got that i like

Is it a 6x2x2? If so, you might find the dovii could outgrow that!
Have you thougt about mbuna or tanganyikans? I kept tanganyikans for years, really rewarding, especially the shell dwellers. If you're going americano, though, and you have other tank with bruisers in (i presume you already have citrinellus/labiatum) why no go for some of the dwarf cichlids? I got really fascinated by Apistogrammas, they were really nice, a few rarer imports coming in too now. Another option - Big Frontosa? Tanganyikan i know but impressive none the less. "Sunken Amazon" biotype? I loved these, i had a 8x3x3 with over 400 cardinal tetras in eventully, a coulple of pairs of dwarf apistogramma/microaltspinosa and a very weird (no-live fish takig) Motoro. I "aquired" this after a friend bought it to go with his arowana, howver he was having to stick-feed the stingray and the arow was making a break for it everytime. Dont go with discus or angles (unless you can get altums at this time of year?) they bore me!  J
