African cichlid stocking for a 55g

[Aquarium1]

Thnx. I can't do acei because my lfs doesn't have it. However I'm thinking of getting 4 venustus instead with no demasoni either. Btw got another red zebra today because they didn't have any more of those or yellow labs but their getting in a shipment tomorrow and I'll be able to go there Friday.

Dude, you live in the state that is the home of Bluegrass Cichlids, no?

That's all the way in louiseville which is about 3 hours away lol.

 

[Sicklid]

Yes, but in-state UPS ground shipping is only one day and its about five dollars...

 

[Sonomakid]

just checked that website...be worth the drive for the fish they have at the prices they list

 

[johnny_zanni]

dont get any Venustus they grow to 10 inches

Man...

 

[Aquarium1]

What do you recommend from that site? Btw I just added the zebra. Doesn't seem ti be major aggression but a little territorial so I filled the other zebras territory with pfs for now.

or you could go to blue lagoon cichlids in nicholasville... about 10 minutes from me... they have TONS of cichlids, but incredipet has all the above mentioned, and can order any you need, CHEAP lol

 

[Aquarium1]

Is blue lagoon expensive? Any recommendations of an mbuna I could get to fill the 4 fish gap lol?

 

[spoonman]

What is the current stock? 1 yellow lab, a red zebra and a kenyi right?

 

[Aquarium1]

No it's 1 lab 2 zebras. I'm going to get 2 more zebras and 3 more labs.

 

[Aquarium1]

What about some afras? Theyre really cool.

 

[spoonman]

Dont know the afras, but the labs and zebras are a definate yes!!!

[Aquarium1]

[Sonomakid]

[Aquarium1]

Yeah I know. Does anyone think I could go with 4 afras for my 55?

 

[Sonomakid]

These fish are more aggressive than any of my other mbuna...
