Hi all,
I have a 120 gallon planted aquarium. It is home to a territorial CAE, about 7" long. I've had him for 6 years. Also in the tank are a bunch of small fish. Fish that won't go into his territory.
I am bored with the tank. I want to make it into an African Cichlid tank. I will move all the fish exept the CAE, he will stay. I will remove all the plants and change out the gravel.
Filtering is 2 Ehem 2026 canisters rated at 90 gallons each. This was once my main show tank, now I have a 180 and 300 that are my main show tank.
I'm looking for suggestions for stocking. I don't want real aggressive fish and I will be doing all males. If I mix males and females I know that I will have more trouble with my CAE cause they will probably try to occupy his caves.
Any stocking suggestions would be very welcome. I want to get all juveniles to fully stock right at the beginning and let them grow into the tank.
So, what would you do???
Thank you, Michael
