What kind of cichlid were you looking for???

If you wanted a "real" cichlid tank ( NOT community )... why could you not wait until they had the fish you wanted in the first place

Very, VERY confusing.............

isn't that a lot of fish to get in just one trip?

 

[Gvilleguy]

Wow - 40 some fish. Hope you have a big tank! But your stock list looks impressive.

Even though I ALWAYS seed my new tank with mature media I would never jump in and stock it with so much at once ..... you could of atleast split it up in 2 trips............ ATLEAST a few days apart.............. hopefully they will be ok.

there has been no mention of a tank size so far. the OP could very well have done a fishless cycle and the fish in their now may only be 25-50% stocking load

what cichlids were u looking for? are u still interested in any?

 

[SBL]

It was 29 USG
I wanted a small south american cichlid that would fit in but, lfs only had 2 fully grown Male Keyholes.
I made sure I didnt overload the tanks stocking, all my filters are full of mature media, and it was stocked with 30+ Rosy Reds untill I got home and released fish. I agree, it is sorta big on stocking but I do atleast a %10 W/C daily. Even Did a %50 today. My original plan was 4x Cupids, 10x Black Neons, and 10x Corys.
I like the looks now. Im glad I got 2 big crypt bunches for $10 and 2 big Anubias for $10. My Serpaes love running under the anubias leaves.

Hope you have a massive filter to handle all that fish load!

Not to pile on, but American Flagfish do better in coldish (68-72 F) water. They're subtropical at best.

I'm sorta over filtered so I'm good.
My American flag fish don't mind. He's a loner and he is real active. He's sorta is a bully to my platies but, thats when they get near his food.
I love the tank, I did lose a Black Neon and my oldest Serpae to stress while re arranging the tank so the plants had room.
