I bought the last 2 fish for my 55 gallon last week, one more yellow lab and one more Acei. That gives me the following (As seen in "my info" button)
55 Gallon Freshwater
2 Aquaclear 70 HOB filters
Gravel substrate-limestone/flint rocks
Cabomba plants in background (growing wonderfully.. although uprooted often!)
Im going to invest in some crypts for foreground plants possibly.
FISH
5 Pseudotropheus acei (yellow labs)
5 Labidochromis caeruleus (Acei)
3 Kenyi-Pseudotropheus lombardoi
1 Psuedotropheus socolofi "Albino"
1 Melanochromis johanni (female)
1 Melanochromis auratus (female)
2 Clown loaches, 1 Rainbow Shark, 1 Pleco, 1 bristlenose pleco
I am closely watching the aggressive factor and i already got rid of one of the Albino socolofi (turned into pet store) and the other may have to go as well.
The melanochromis are both still females and stay pretty much to themselves.. im surprised becuase i was told these would be my two most aggressive but if i ever see any problems i will sell them back as well.
I put the bristelnose pleco in there becuase bob.. my common pleco... is getting huge. I don't know what to do with him.. lol. It looks like im not going to be able to upgrade to a bigger tank becuase we were planning on moving to a bigger house.. but we decided to renew our lease here for another year and i don't have room for a bigger tank. Im really attached to bob but i know he needs a bigger home SOON.
The only other thing that may change is if i have to get rid of the albino or any melanochromis i may add more Kenyi.... females. So far out of my 3 none have turned yellow yet but i want at least 1 male and 3-4 females. So im waiting to see if any of them turn colors.. they are a bit over 2" so im guessing they should change soon if they are right???
Any other suggestions for this tank???
i will be getting pics soon.
