75 gallon stocking ideas

[roydesilva]

I'm converting my 75gallon to a African cichlid tank, I would like to have some larger Africans in there, so tell me some ideas btw it's been running for over a year now so it's cycled and ip the ph is now up to 8.2 from 6.4 ahah and its a 5 foot

Frontasa are nice

Its a 5 foot tank?

Most likely 60x12x24

Another option is altolamprologus calvus

IMO great fish but very slow grower

A dimidochromis comprececips would look neat

Dimidochromis compressiceps require a 6 ft aquarium if I'm not mistaken.

Frontosa need a 180 gallon minimum in my opinion. Big fish that live in groups, and males are not very tolerant of each other

I'd say 125 minimum for either one, but defiantly a 180 for a group of fronts.

Yeah, fronts need a bigger tank IMO.
