I understand that more could be kept of the fancy varieties, but it's a question of personal taste. The fancy varieties just don't appeal to me much. Sarassa Comets and possibbly Shubunkins (London style) do. If keeping even 4-5 of them in this setup is a bad idea I wouldn't do it though.

The reason I'm feeling drawn to them is that this tank is the one that is in the common area of the house (the others are in my 'fishroom'). The gregarious pet-like nature, liveliness and colourfulness would be a big hit with the 'non-fish-geek' members of the house as well as myself. Cichlid appreciation is more of a niche thing it seems, and best confined to my cave...
