Lol, i decided on african cichlids instead

[BishopiMaster]

after over a month of researching aggressive cichlids that can hold their own, i decided back on africans, i think a johanni, hornet, red zebra and auratus would make a fine tank

 

[Mack&Cass]

It will make a great tank as long as its big. Btw you are going to get hybrid offspring in that tank (they might be hybrids already) so don't sell the young

I got one years ago, Texas and Convict cichlids both thrived and got many offsprings in a 20 gallon aquarium. When we had to move, we have to sell them though. Also some we transfered in a pond outside, after a couple of years we saw albino ones!

An overcowded Alaunocara tank with overkill flow and filtration are amazing....though so ar ethe ones youve listed. Yould be suprised at how well they do with too many as opposed to too little...even with conspecifics.

Yeah i went over and changed that list a while ago instead im going with
maylandia greshakei
metriaclima estherae
yellow lab
pseudotropheus callainos
i talked to some forums about it they said i probably wont have any problems, as for filtration i have an aquaclear 70 and 110 and the heater and all, its late and i dont want to go over it, good night.
