Another update. Picking tank up soon but my lfs called me to tell me he had Ciclids that were just turned in by a guy who was changing his tank to something else. He knew I was after larger Ciclids so I ran down and bought these gorgeous guys.

Congrats!

That's so weird are u on ur phone or computer?

Dang ok. I'll try later once I get the tank up and running. What's weird is one is a blue ahi ciclid. After doing some research on it web says not to house with Mbuna but the tank he came from had mostly Mbuna. Hope he does ok in my tank especially since he cost me 29bucks. The other Ciclids I bought were $12

Finally up and running. Tank still little cloudy.

U probably already know but ur gonna need a lot more rock work for African cichlids. Especially to be keeping 15 or there's gonna be war

Just because u can have 15 don't mean u have to have that many. I would add a few at a time and see where your water parameters are at. If you get a lot u will need to be more frequent on PWC so just keep that in mind when stocking your tank I have about 25-30 Africans in my 180 gallon and I have a ton of filtration and I due water changes every 2 weeks. Just keep that in mind when stocking your tank. Those fish look good to nice find

I only have 10 think I'll stop there for a while. I've been messing with the aquascape to try and give them the best cave/rock formations. I'm going to buy more stones soon. The stuff in tank is what previous owner was using.

New aquascape. Added last 2 fish( dolphin and a rusty) after I rehomed the Plecoptera. Only thing now is my yellow lab went from really active to struggling. Added some stress relief conditioner just have to cross my fingers. Here is setup

Synodontis eupturus.

I'd be careful adding a dolphin to a 75, those are pretty big haps if i'm not mistaken

Yes the dolphin get bigger than I expected. That's what I get for letting daughter pick the fish. After we got home I looked it up and saw it can get to 10 inches. Daughters replied, guess we'll have to get a bigger tank! Wife just shook her head and walked away.
