Hey guys,
I currently have just a 30g with a few small/medium sized African Cichlids. I'm also currently cycling a 75g for them, however, I've been having issues with the one Red Zebra harassing all the other ones. I have two OB Peacocks get a bit mean sometimes too but not nearly as much. They mess around with what I think is a yellow lab (it's yellow but is constantly changing to a yellow-ish/purple sometimes, especially when being chased) and two black/dark grey chiclids who have been calm this entire time. Yeah I bought an African mix so I'm not 100% what I have...
Because of this issues I'm having with them, I was debating whether to keep them or return them to the pet store and start off the 75g with south american cichlids. I recently went to a LFS that's huge further from my area that had many many kinds. They didn't seem as colorful but they all looked unique and most of them seem to grow much larger. I mainly know about African cichlids and only the basics of South Americans.
Do you think this is a good idea? If so what's a good model to go by for a 75 south american tank as far as the amount of fish?
Thanks guys,
Dave
