Hey guys. Upgraded to a 125 for Christmas. Pretty sure my floor won't cave in
I was looking to round out my stock, was hoping you guys could chime in here as I still don't have a ton of experience with peacocks/haps. I was trying to go with a peaceful-ish hap/peacock tank, per DJRansome's advice. Current stock is:
-Turquoise Hap/Protomelas Marginatus
-Mylo Lateristriga Makanjilia/Mylochromis Lateristriga Makanjilia
-Ahli Electric Blue/Sciaenochromis Fryeri "Maleri Island"
-Taiwan Reef Cichlid/Protomelas sp. Steveni Taiwan
-Aulonocara Sunshine Peacock/Aulonocara sp. stuartgranti "Maleri"
-Ngara Flametail (Mdoka Yellow)/Aulonocara Stuartgranti
-Flavescent Peacock Cichlid/Aulonocara stuartgranti usisya
-Fireline Mloto/Copadichromis Trewavasae Mloto Likoma
-Deep Water Hap/Placidochromis electra
Borleyi-
Albino Red Cap
Ethelywnnae-
Bi-Color 500-
Midnight-
Sulfur head
Venustus
Azureus
White lab-
-3 Catfish and a Bristlenose
The ruby red and Red Top Lwanda I started with both died within the 1st week, so my tank is lacking reds (the borleyi has no color, don't know if he will color) and greens (I wanted a lethrinops but they didn't have any when I ordered).
So I'm wondering what you guys think if I add the following: German Red, Red Empress, Red Cap Lethrinops, and Lethrinops Albus?
Additional question: Should I get rid of that Venustus now? I knew better than picking one up, but my kids fell in love with "giraffe fish" when I was at the fish store, and I couldn't say no. He's one of the smaller fish right now, and still my kid's favorite, but the fact that he is in there gives me the willies based on reputation, not current behavior. Thoughts? As always, thanks fish folks!
