shanks Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hey everyone, I am looking to start a large cichlid tank. at least 150 gal but hopfully bigger. If anyone has a tank for sale let me know. Also, if you have any reccommendations for types of fish that i could try can you let me know. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I suggest you get a 300 gallon tank with two FX5 filters and a stand. Then, you shoudl stock it with mpimbwe fronts. Start with about 30 juvies and go from there. :D Boom :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Boom, thanks for the suggestion......smart**s. Thanks again to Mr. R for the fronts. they look pretty funny in such a big tank but i have the intake covered and some are stretching their fins in it right now.

OptimumSpectrum Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've got 20 cichlids in a 60 gallon so 150 is more than enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDFISHGUY Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 mbuna yellow labs,demaisoni,acei - because the males and females are equally attractive. haps all male- because the females are dull with very few exceptions and they are far too aggressive when breeding. I've really had the urge to get back into Africans again. If only I could talk my wife into it.....good luck whatever you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash_oesc Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I find it so hard to find information on stocking a tank, everything I read contradicts everything else. My wife wants demasoni, labs, bumblebees and auratus. Some say yes, some say no, pet store will happily take my money I think...boo. Just realized this thread is 5 months old. /endpost.

Sounds like your wife likes Mbuna. If you look at my posts you will see what i have done with the tank so far. It is a Tanginikan tank and if you show your wife the Frontosa i have in there and she likes them i hae a few for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
