Im about to smash my head into the wall

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:

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.

Yellow labs are very common and thanks for the suggestion, ive been talking with degrassi as well and shed mentioned labs too.

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.
