Thanks for the replies. I'm kinda liking this: Option 2: Discus tank - Discus - Tetras (Rummynose, Cardinal, Glowlight, etc) - Dwarf, Honey, or Pearl Gourami - Large Rainbows - Rams or Cories - Etc

I've been keeping african cichlids in my 135gal tank for about 10 years now and I've decided to switch things up. I now have a tank that has no fish in it and am looking to restock it with something besides mbuna african cichlids. I'm wide open to suggestions. I'm looking for some schooling...

Well, since this thread was replied too again...I've had the 200 for about 6 months and the 350 for about 4 months. I like them, they seem to work really well.

I have around 20 or so juvi yellow tailed acei's for sale. They are roughly 1.5 inches long. Pics available upon request. Name your price. Pickup only (or meet somewhere), I'm located in Yorktown, VA. Please PM or email me at brians22222@yahoo.com

Wardley's Cichlid Flakes...they love them

as long as you got good filtration and maintain it, 20-25 fish in a 75 is no problem especially with demonsani...they are dwarf cichlids only grow to about 2-2.5". I have 16 in a 55 gal and have no problems what so ever.

You can do alot with a 75gal with mbuna. If you like acei's a would do about 7 in that size tank. They love to school and will swim around all of the tank. If you really want demosani's get a lot. The need to be in big numbers since they will pick on each other constantly, like 12-15 in a 75...

Try www.cichlid-forum.com it has all the info you need for starting and maintaining a malawian, tang, front, etc tank. 72 gal is perfect for mbuna, you have many options to choose from with that size.

I think Bristle-nosed (bushy nosed) plecos will take care of the brown algae. They only grow to a few inches too so they are small. The brown algae will turn to green eventually, is the tank fairly new?

I now have about 40+ yellow tailed acei fry that are about a month old if any one is interested. I will start selling them in 3-4 weeks, name your price. Please email me or pm me: brians22222@yahoo.com

I have 3 ps. acei (yellow tailed acei) and 3 yellow labs for sale. They are roughly 3 months old and around 1.5-2.0" in length. The are $2.00 each or $5.00 for a trio. I am located around Yorktown and can arrange for a pick up or can meet somewhere in the area. Please email me...

not too sure about the jewel, i've never had any myself.

Are they females and over 2.5" long?? Sometimes when a female is ready to breed, their females part becomes swollen to get ready for releasing eggs. I just went through this last week with my red zebra. she was swollen and started dropping eggs when chased.

It does matter when dealing with mbuna, mixing different african speicies is usually not a good idea unless you get some of the calmer speicies together. I agree with Fishlover14, remove one or the other. But skip out on getting a socolofi, they can be very terriotorial when adult and will...

Mbuna is pronounced like this: um-boo-na if you are moving all fish to the 125 gal then you can pretty much get what you want. But in the 29gal it will be a little tougher to pick fish if they are going to be in there for 6-8 months. For a 29 gal, one group (1 male and 3 or 4 females) of the...
