I'm about a year in to my 1st Cichlid tank. Wasn't able to finish my stocking so I'm trying to determine best course of action. Here's where I'm at presently. Note that I'm not great with the scientific names so going to just use the common. I can clarify as needed.
5 Yellow Labs (2 are very much juvies which survived as fry)
3 White Labs
1 Lithobate
1 Ahli
1 Strawberry Peacock
5 synodontis multipunctatus
If I had to do over, I wouldn't have gotten the Peacock. But it is by far the prettiest and biggest fish in the tank at moment so don't think I'd want to part with it. He's also the most aggressive as I think he might have killed an Deep Water Electra & Sunshine Peacock that I had mid-summer last year. He doesn't really bother the Labs or remaining Haps. So just not sure best way forward. Lithobate is a male starting to color pretty nice. Ahli also a male, still a smallish side without much color.
