I have a 75G right now with the following:
15 Demasoni (1.5-2")
5 Acei (3")
4 Rustys (1.5-2")
5 Red-top Albino Zebra (1.5-2.5")
4 Syn. Multipunctatus (4")
3 Syn. Lucipinnis (1.5")
2 Syn. Nigriventis (1.5")
1 Albino Sailfin Bristlenose Pleco (2")
1 Regular Bristlenose Pleco (4")
I'm thinking about getting rid of the Zebras because they're kind of jerks. The Demasoni are jerks too, but only towards each other. Also, right now the only cichlids that really show up are the Demasoni, Acei, and Zebras. The rest just kind of swim around behind rocks and stuff.
I want something yellow/orange, but I think yellow labs are too common. I have 5 of them in another tank and to be honest I'd rather have something different.
I had some .5"-1" Msobo deeps but they didn't last - they succumbed to aggression in the tank. I was thinking of getting some bigger ones because I really like the color.
I have also thought of Saulosi but the males would turn too closely colored to the Demasoni and that can't be a good recipe for success.
Any thoughts? The Zebras haven't really started **** with anybody but the dominant male in the tank is definitely the biggest Zebra (by the way - these guys grow FAST! Do all Zebras grow this quickly?)
I like Afras - but most of them look too close to Demasoni I think, with the blue & black vertical bars. I want some contrast.
