My plan was to turn my 4'x13"x12" tank into a saulosi tank. I've been planning this for about a month, getting everything ready, water just right etc.
The reason I chose saulosi was because in one species that only got 4" I got bright colors with both the male and female. Plus I'm new to cichlids (not fish, I have a 6 gal and 12 gal salt water tank) and wanted to play it safe. I was going to do 2 males and 8 females.
So when I called the supplier, we started talking and he told me I could mix it up and put several other kinds of fish like red zebras, labs, and others I can't remember. He didn't want to change my mind, but if I wanted I could have several different colors and make it real pretty. He said he could help me pick some out and that I wanted about 15-20 fish to deal with aggression.
Sounds good, but I don't know. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. I also don't know if he's trying to sell me more fish or what.
Any ideas, suggestions?
