125 or 75g

[Makavelli02]

Ok as I have stated I know have a 125g tank. My delima is my oscars seem happy as can be in there 75g. So should I move them to the 125 or leave them in the 75? If I don't move them what should I stock the 125 with?

I think your oscars would LOVE the 125.

I would really like some green terror and some jds but I don't think it would work. I really want to have some variety in the tank. I love my Os but the fact that I can't put any other fish in with them stinks.

There's never a downsize to a bigger tank. Except maybe the water bill.

Move the oscars to the 125g. I know from your posts you generally lean towards larger ca/sa cichlids but what about africans?

 

[Makavelli02]

Africans is the way I am leaning. From what I have read on here it seems you can put a lot more of them together unlike SA/CA cichlids. But I don't know much about them.

Africans would be my bet too. You can make quite the mbuna tank.

Just my opinion, but I'm biased. lol

Good link. I hadn't thought of black background and black sand...

Thats what 90% of my set ups are. Tahitian Moon sand with black back, nothing brings out more fish color than this in my opinion.

Ok my local feed store has only assorted Africans I assume they are mbuna. How many are good for a 75?

With four spieces with 1m to 4/5f ratio's you'll end up around 25. Generally I purchase more juvies then start rehoming them when I determine sex and possible aggression issues.

I would stay away from mixed mbuna tanks due to hybrids. Best to order them from a reptuable dealer. Check
