Hi everyone!
I'm working on my first cichlid tank, what I hope will be an all male peacock/hap tank. The tank is 75g, 48x18 footprint. I've got a fluval FX4 for filtration, and plan to add a sponge filter rated at 900gph. Planning for a 250-300 watt heater.
I've read most of the files in the library and also a bunch of older threads on the forum, but cichlids are so complicated! So I'm hoping for some input into my stock list. I'm thinking the "right" number10 adult males(but please correct me if I'm wrong). My favorite species are listed below, so I'd like to choose singletons from 10...are any in particular that you'd recommend over the others? Or is there a species I've missed that you think I'd like based upon this list?
Auloncara Dragon Blood (on the fence)
Auloncara Walteri
Sunshine
German Red
A.S Ngara
Auloncara Chitanba ( Blue Neon)
Otopharynx Lithobates
Protomelus Spilonotus Tanzania
Otopharynx Blue Otter
Copradichromis Borleyii
Red Empress Hap
Protomelas Steveni Taiwan Reef
Any advice would be appreciated!
