55 Gallon Stocking

Okay guys. New deal. I'm going to be moving soon to a permanent house. When I move, I want to re-do my 55 gallon show tank with a cichlid that is not spooked by a little foot traffic. My Jack Dempseys freak out every time I walk by the tank and this is not good for a tank that everyone sees. I want a fish that is not shy if there ever was one. I would get an oscar, but my wife doesn't like the looks of them for some reason. Money is no issue. I want lots of colors too, if possible! Let me get some ideas from you!

Moorii , & you are not that far from me...

My Moorii swarm against the glass when I come by. My Fronts do the same thing. But for a 55 Gallon, I would suggest smaller Mbuna or other Africans that have really nice color but stay 4-5" or less.

I'm not really into Moori guys...Sorry. I like their color but I'm not sure I like the shape of them. And like Hong said, I don't think they'd be great in a 55.

Brichardi

arowanas are cool!
their mostly at the top of the tank so they gots noweres to hides..!

Arowanas get 4 feet long.

try peacocks mine are doing fine in my 60 gallon some ide but not all get some jacobs and blue susnshines and some mbunas like e yellows and kenyis all male tanks they look nice and you get the wows from people they stay within 4-6 inches

You could also do one flowerhorn, if your lucky your will end up with a personality like Fred's But thats all you could have.......

I like yellow labs.

As long as your suggestions work with the idea that I would actually SEE the fish more than a few minutes a day!

get some nice gold fish!!!! hahaha
they aint scared of anything! jk

electric yellows, i loved mine. they would never hide from me or even my daughter at that. and she would beat the tank at they would just sit there and chase her fingers lol

e yellows told you good choice

Okay. I'll price some Electric Yellows. Anyone know how to sex them? Or have pictures of both the male and female?

6-7 all MALE peacocks

Generally, the males have the dark black border around dorsal, pelvic, and anal fins. Sometimes females will have them but they are lighter; most females will only have the black border on their dorsal fins.

Here's a video of my labs:
