I have recently built a 90 Gallon African Cichlid Tank and it currently has the following: (5) Labidochromis caeruleus (Lion's Cove) (3) Blue Kenyi I want to add a pair of Male Peacocks to tank any suggestions? These are my ideas: Aulonocara Sp. OB Peacock (Hybrid) Aulonocara Sp. German...

They are fake so hopefully not too bad. I tell you what though old media jump starts the tank!!

And so the journey begins!!

New Tankmates!!

That's what I figured but I know they will breed if conditions allow. You didn't say anything about the synodontis catfish.

Thanks I will update as soon as they go in!! One more thing, how many fish is to many fish in this tank? Since they spawn when conditions are right, at what point to you scoop out the babies? Or do you remove the adults and start over?

So the electric yellow, red zebra are ok and just mix in some of the others. Still keep the 1 male to 3-4 females correct?

So what would you guys recommended. I was looking at three types. What about doing a Kenyi. All 3 types ar from Lake Malawi.

Thanks, that is why I love this forum. Can always learn!!

Yes, that is what I am planning.

I just set one up as well. The only thing I know is that I changed my substrate to a crushed coral that is better for Cichlids and removed my live plants as i have read they tend to uproot plants. I would look at doing a canister filter as well. Maybe add a Fluval 305. Once cycled I would say...

(6) Electric Yellow Cichlids (6) Electric Blue Cichlids (6) Red Zebra Cichlids (5-6) Synodontis Catfish Any ideas other than this let me know!! I love the catfish they are active and love the markings!! As for the Africans they are full of color.

Yes, API Kit.

Part of my old filter foam. From my aqua clear and I also used some from the fluvial 405.

Thanks, hopefully 3-4 weeks it will be ready for fish!!
