Firemouths are an american cichlid too ;)  However for a 55 myself i'd go with a GT or Texas  >:D

Fire mouths are american. I don't want a red devil. I don't want a green terror either cause I already have a blue acara/green terror hybrid(I think, it's more acara than terror) (not my fault I got it for free from the pet store) Maybe a firemouth. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Does it have to be a Cichlid ? ???
I took you home, put you on the glass, I pulled off your wings and I laughed. I saw you change into a fly.
