Thanks for your imput. I have decided to go with a Malawi tank so if you have any suggestions I would like to hear them. I will use the list on the Chiclids forum. Tweek it if possible. Thanks Shane

Thanks for your advice. I think I will try a Malawi tank. I will use the list showen on the chiclid forum to start, but if you have any suggestions I would like to hear them. Thanks Shane

Thanks for your information. The link was great and gave me some where to start. All I have to do now is decide which lake to go with first. I will also have to be on the lookout for another large tank for the one lake I don't go with now. I have 2 40 gallon tanks to use so maybe I can start one as a Tang.tank and I think I will start my big tank as a Malawi tank. What quantities of each species to start would you suggest?

The tank is 72"X24"X30". My hopeful list is from Lake Tanganykian: Erermodus cyanostictus,Altolamprologus calvus & compressiceps, Julidochromis regain,Noelamprologus brichardi & leleupi & prochilus & toae, Plecodus straelini, Cyphotiliapia frontosa, Tropheus duboisi & moorii. From Lake Malawi Iodotropheus sprengerae, Labidochromis caeruleus, Melanochromis labrosus, Metiaclima estherae, Aulonocara hansbaenschi & stuartgranti & sp, Cyrtocara moorii, Dimidiochromis strigatus, Lethrinops cf. lethrinus, Sciaenochromis fryeri. The spelling I hope is correct and any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, out of the blue could I use Tufa rock in my tank to offset the Mexican bowl rock? thanks again Shane

Thanks again. Do you have any suggestions as to what species are compatiable. I have a list and would like to compare it.

Thanks for your help. I have tried to find peaceful species to combine and have come up with about 20 different species, 10 from each lake so I hope it works.

I have just aquired a 230 gallon tank and want to do an Africian chiclid tank. Can you combine Tang. and Malawi chiclids? If so does anyone have suggestions as to what ones and how many I can safely keep? I would like to have as many different species as possible but I do want to have a peaceful tank. All you help or suggestion would be greatly accepted.
