new world to african

[tdins_2]

new world cichlids just didn't do it for me theres not enough color and the only ones i actually liked were firemouths and angel so im switching to african.

i really like labs and how many can i keep in a 70g tank
and what other species are attractive and colorful im looking for more cichlids and eels

I just got a pair of Red German Peacocks that i'm going to breed and they're amaaazing. I think the scientific name is Aulonocara Maleri. Try them!

What are the dimensions of your tank?

It's quite a mix of fish that could work in that tank provided it's decorated right and you feed a variety of foods, as you have some different diets mixed in there. It's very eclectic and you will want to keep an eye on things and remove any fish that look like they are causing trouble.

Were you planning on keeping one of each or a number of each?
