shawntraviss Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hello folks, i need a little help stocking a 65 long (48 x 18) Im building this tank around Placidochromis sp. "Phenochilus Tanzania", i have 2 right now but i plan to get 2 or 3 more females asap. Now heres my problem, what else do i put in the tank?!?. My plan was to do a hap tank then i remembered how terrible my lfs is and that quickly changed (i could count the TOTAL number of haps on two hands!). Now heres what i need, i need tank mates that can live in a com. tank with the Phenos and wont bother them, and fish that wont out grow my tank and VERY common fish so i actually have a shot at finding them. Your free to choose from any cichlids world wide but african species would be prefered. Any help given would be amazing, thanks a million. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 1 male, 4 females, sounds like a good species tank to me. With the size of adult pheno's I honestly wouldn't add a second hap species to a tank that size. If you want to add some extra color to the mix, yellow labs would be a good choice, and they should be fairly common in your area.

FishBrain Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Nice website Shawn!! I like your hairdo, dont find many bald guys with beards. I like mine!! If you are in peterborough, there should be some pretty good stores a short drive away. I agree with RD tho, yellows look beautiful in a tank.
