Yes I forgot to mention that!

All males.

Sorry!

Haps peacocks and mbuna all in a 55g. Won't work
The Haps you want get too big Nimbochromis venustus can reach 9 to inches easy
The peacocks you have would work with each other

It's a 60! haha that's upsetting. are there any peacocks that have the giraffe pattern?

 

[raccioppi83]

I posted a picture of what my tank looks like in a different section of the forum. So I'll put it here as well.

Opinions? (Background will be added)

55 60 it still wouldn't work lol
Can't think of anything that comes to mind.

Your tank is looking good could use some more rocks and sand thou 3D backrounds always look sweet just depends what you have on your budget

I need to collect more rocks but I do like the set up it is in now. I think I am going to get a solid black background.

I know it is too small. I was just kidding. Sadly haha

I am still working on my tank I haven't put a backround yet i have a small budget I think mine also needs more sand and rocks

It looks like a great start though! We seem like we're at the same place but you have fish already. Which is exciting!

What are you stocked with? I'm sure you plan on getting more soon.
