This is the logical progression of "Glenn's Tank Thread" under Aquarium Setup https://www.cichlid-forum.com/phpBB/vie ... 4&t=390593
This list was suggested by chazeltine .....
1 male and 4 females of Chindongo Saulosi
1 male and 4 females of Psuedotropheous Acei
1 male and 4 females of Cynotilapia Afra
1 male and 4 females of Labidochromis caeruleus
1 male and 4 females of Labeotropheus trewavasae
An amendment was made by DJRansome .....
"For a different thought on stocking I like 4 species in a 48x18 tank. I would eliminate the afra (now known as zebroides) since they are blue barred fish like the saulosi, and the saulosi have colorful females.
I would also do 7 females for the labeotropheus as they can be more aggressive than the others."
after a discussion on Clown Loaches this thought was added
"They are way smaller than the loaches and MAYBE 8 inches long but sleek and absolutely not a problem in a 48" tank. Or go Synodontis lucipinnis...smaller and no parasite brooding. Also not as good at fry patrol"
So I will use this thread a a place to discuss the new fish for the new tank.
The tank is still cycling, I expect to have some Dr. Tim's One and Only tomorrow and will try his fish-less cycle.
