what is your favorite hap cichlid?

I have a 75 gallon tank with some big haps so I just want to see what haps you guys like so I can get some for my self.

In a 75 I'd say none unless you're using it for a grow out. I had Placidochromis sp. ''Phenochilus Tanzania'' in my 125.

Whoops I ment 175 gallon tank sorry

 

[HUKIT]

Well if your asking for favorites then mine would be the Buccochromis rhoadesii, doesn't help your decision since it doesn't fit in your tank but you asked.

What do you mean a 175 gallon tank is too small

They'll reach around 16", way to big in my opinion for a 175g.

Agreed, you'll want to shoot for fish around the 10-12" mark for a 175.

Wow that's one big fish. what size tank do you need

Wow that's one big fish. what size tank do you need

8' x 2' x 2' tank at the very least would be my guess.

 

[hrvat31]

Well do you like any fish that would be good in my size tank

Dimidiochromis Compressicep. (Malawi eye biter)

Beautiful fish.
