Hey guys,
At the moment I am in the process of starting up a new tank to re home my current batch of cichlids.My link
Basically I'd like to get some information on what cichlids I can put with my current batch, and how many I should keep. (male to female ratio etc)
Tank:
110G
150 x 48 x 58Hcm
Substrate:
I've had this substrate since I was alot younger so I'm assuming it's aquarium sand and crushed coral. I plan to keep similar substrate in the new tank.
Decoration:
Ocean rock/dead coral/limestone
Current stock:
1x 7 bar Frontosa
2x Green Texas (1m, 1f - Looking that way)
3x Johanni (male)
2x Electric yellow (1m, 1f)
3x Clown loaches(*hoping* 2f, 1m)
2x Rainbow sharks (These may be going)
3x Bristlenose
I think some of my stocking may be debateable, but all my fish are extremely healthy and there is very minimal aggression. Occasionally some chasing between my 2 largest Johanni's. (I did have 2m, 2f, all of them bred in my tank, but one female died and the other turned into a male
)
Cichlids I'm interested in:
- Jalo Reef
- A. Latifasciata (Unsure of the common name)
- Marble Peacock
- Venustus
- Black Kiriza (?)(I'm pretty sure I can't have these beautiful guys as I think they need to be in groups of 10 or more and are strictly herbivores? If this is the case, could you please suggest a similar looking fish I could keep?)
I'd also like to up my numbers of electric yellows and grab a few female Johanni.
Any suggestions are more then appreciated. If I've done something severely wrong with my current stocking, please don't grill me, I'm still learning
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
