Fist off - GREAT FORUM interesting and full of useful info.
Wish I knew of its existence before diving in.
Backgound
I have a 75 gal. tank with 200w heater and whisper 500 filter.
Dolemite gravel, lava rock and some sort of coral decoration
Home Depot flagstones up against coral and lava creating caves.
Would like to add some sort of safe wood - Any suggestions?
Inhabitants
1-Pseudotropheus Acei Yellow Tail 3" long
2-Melanochromis johanni elec blue 1"
2-Neolamprologus leleupi 2"
1-Red Fin Borley 3"
Questions
How can you tell the difference between males and females?
The Acei is hounding the poor Red fin.
Can I add a fish or two that might stop this behavior?
Is mixing of the two lakes (leleupi) a bad thing?
My plan is to wait 6 weeks with these fish to (cycle?) the tank
and then add about ten more.
Any suggestions on tank mates for them. (I do like lots of color)
Sorry for being so longwinded but I am new and full of questions.
Any help would be appreciated
