Smithc, not to hijack your thread, hopefully this stocklist breakdown can help you out. All of these males have been in the 125g the past few months. I also have other 4ft. tanks used to help smaller males color up faster. Constantly swapping fish in and out of the 125g. I think there's 25-30 in the main tank currently.
I've broken down the stocklist into 2 categories. (1) Peaceful Pansies (2) Potentially Psychotic
Harmless:
Aul. Yellow Jake - has a bad rep but most Yellow Jakes I've seen don't start trouble, they just hold their own
Aul. Kandeense
Aul. Stuartgranti Bi-color 500
Aul. Stuartgranti Benga
Aul. Turkis - personal fav
Aul. Stuargranti Flametail - personal fav
Copadichromis Mloto - 4 males
Copadichromis Verduyni WC - love these guys, 2 males
Lethrinops Albus Kande WC - trying to pick up females for breeding
Mylochromis Ericotaniea - harmless
Nyassachromis Boadzulu Kanchedeza - harmless
Otopharynx Lithobate Z-Rock - personal fav, 4 males
Otopharynx Tetrasplus
Protomelas Spilonotus Tanz - personal fav
Protomelas Virgatus WC - personal fav
Tramitochromis Intermedius
Yellow Lab
The ones I keep a close-eye on:
Aul. Ruby Red Jake
Aul. Sp. Lwanda - 7 males
Buccochromis Rhoadesii WC
Buccochromis Nototaniea WC
Champsochromis Caeruleus
Naevochromis Crysogaster
Protomelas Red Empress
Protomelas Steveni Imperial Gome WC
Protomelas Steveni Taiwan Reef
Copadichromis Kadango
Frontosa - 2 unsexed
Pundamilia Nyrerei - kicks butt for a small guy, gorgeous flared up
Tyrannochromis Nigriventor Mbenji WC
Tyrranochromis Nigriventor Mbenji female WC
Chilotilapia Rhoadessi - has some bite for a small guy, 2 males
Mixed peacock
Mixed Ahli
Sciaenochromis fryeri - annoying when growing up, ok when older
@GoofBoy, the only reason I have so many right now is because I'm transitioning over to a large hap tank. I started out with small haps/peacocks. Most of the peacocks will be gone or rehoused in other tanks. Ideally, I'd like 8-10 full size haps ranging 8"-12". It'll take some time. And yes, let me know if you're looking for a particular fish to trade!
You never know
WHEN things will change! For sure!
