After some much needed constructive AND unnecessary criticism. I have mapped out a potential fish list for a 150g-Tall, sand substrate, Malawi setup. I am still unsure about my male:male and male:female ratios. Are there any, "Rules of thumb" on this subject? Helpful advice would be appreciated. Don't think that cross-breeding never crossed my mind. I fear that as well.
Also I questioned the Exochromis. There was not much helpful information regarding this species. I am hesitant about stocking them because from what I could find they may become much bigger and potential bullies. Any truth to that?
I'm not interested in an "All-Male" tank because I simply dont have the extra tanks to be weeding out fish down the road. I figured that with a healthy balance of M&F (Adolescent NOT Adult)and a large population I could cut stress without damaging the integrity of the male's color. Or am I just WAY off? Is this enough fish for a 150gal?
I'll hang up and listen, thanks for taking my call.
opcorn:
-Exochromis anagenys (1m&2f)
-Protomelas taeniolatus (1m&2f)
-Aulonocara jacobfreibergi "Mamelela" and/or "Otter Point" (3m&4f)
-Protomelas sp. 'Johnstoni Solo' (2m&3f)
-RedTop Lwanda (2m&3f)
-Protomelas sp. "Spilonotus Tanzania" (Liuli) (2m&3f)
-Aulonocara dragon blood (2m&2f)
-SYNODONTIS ANGELICUS X 1
-Synodontis Brichardi X 1
