I have a 125 gl tank with 3 Gold Severums, 3 Pearl Gouramis, 3 Angles, and 2 Black Jueillans. I want to add more chiclids but I dont want the wrong kind. Can you suggest some that arent mean?

I think that I have 4 different cichlids but I want more... Some really pretty ones that arent mean.

Angels, Gold Servum, Black Jueillans, and Dawrf Ram Angel.

Any ideas???

never heard of a Black Jueillan? did you mean Juli? as in Julidochromis?
one of the many types of Geophagus would probably be fine or maybe a Kribensis. you do have a large tank, but there are no guarantees with cichlid behavior. there are standards but just like a dog or people every fish has it's own distinct personality.

I know they can be stinkers. I am not sure if that is the right name or not but I added a pic, they are the black and white stripped ones. I added a pic of the tank too. Its still kinda new. Theres also a pic of the gold sevrums and the angel ram

I do know that juvinille cichlids can be ok. They do get more aggressive and territorial with age.

OK got ride of the serums and angels going with Discus instead. I traded them for a huge bag of plants, both of my tanks look way better now. I am waiting for plants to take hold before updating pics

top photo of the whole tank looks rather nice...after your plants take hold, it will be one awesome tank, look forward to the pictures

Thanks it looks alot different now. I havent moved any of the pretty plants into the tank yet because it doesn't have CO2 yet. I just put 6 discus in and I'm so excited!! I wont be putting pics up untill it looks better tho.

that is definitely a juldochromis transcriptus. i hope it does alright with your Discus seeing how the discus like a very low PH 6.0 to 6.5 neutral and Tanganyikans like a very high PH 8 to 9 hard. i have had several of these and some have been very docile while a couple have been down right nasty. Discus are docile.
