reef canada Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) After much thought, I have decided to change my 400 from a south american cichlid tank to a tanganyikian cichlid tank. The stock list so far( growing out in another tank, until sa cichlids are gone) is 1.1 Black cap Ventralis, 1.4 Callochromis macrops, 0.3 boops(need to find a male), 10 Tropheus duboisi, 10 Tropheus moorii(musanga) and 4 Ectodus descampsi(want 10 more). I would like to add some shelly's as well as a group of Benthochromis tricoti. The tank is 96"x 30"x 30", with sump of 72"x 24"x 16"(LxWxH). I have a sand filter good up to 600 gals, a FX5 run through the closed loop holes in the bottom of the tank. I would like input as to which fish you guys and gals would add to this stock list. Thanks Jay Edited May 14, 2010 by reef canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have some lamp. similis and lamp speciosus fry for shell dwellers if interested. ALso some gold ocellatus are around. What a bout a nice compressiceps or calvus to your tang tank(Or a few) A school of cyps would be nice. Some goby cichlids would also be nice. Hahah all fish I love.

reef canada Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I am not a fan of compressiceps. I was thinking of cyps. but I think the tricoti will pick on them. If I do cyps. instead, I will do a large school. Thank You for the offer of the shelly's, I will let you know.

African_Fever Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 The ventralis and boops will cross if breeding is anything you're planning. Sounds like an awesome setup though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
