MarkoD Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) ok so i have a 75 gallon peacock/ hap/ compresscips tank that has been set up and running for 5-6 months now and looks like this a couple weeks ago i got another 75 gallon tank, cleaned it filled it up with aragonite, did 5 water changes to clear up the water and seeded the filters. so now its time for me to stock the tank, any idea what i should get? i was thinking either a american cichild tank or a mbuna tank. please please give me some input i cant decide!

timbruun Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Oscar is the way to go. :P mbuna will eat plants if they are live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) i would say something in the geophagus genus (earth-eaters). g. altifron comes to mind. they have the most incredible red ventral fins as adults.

Yes the geophagus are nice. I have a group of 10 Geophagus sp. red head tapajos and by far they are one of my nicest fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaFishMommy Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 if you're in edmonton you might check out big al's or see if henry over at nature's corner could order them in for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoD Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 big al's is way over priced IMO, they do have a lot of selection but if im going to be ordering and waiting for something, might as well do it myself and avoid the middleman mark up. thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
