Here is an old thread I had going on Thorichthys. There are some nice pictures on page 3.

Nice looking fish.

I noticed a big nip in my aulonocaras fin tonight so the crabro is as good as history from the 60. I'm trying to catch him now.

Scratch that, he is caught and in with the mbuna now.

And the red zebra is already being a jerk. I hate it as I've owned him a year and a half but he is about to be placed for adoption soon. He just can't seem to coexist with anything else.

And its done. The zebra is at Petco. I'm pretty sad but it had to be done.

So as some of you may have seen in other posts around the forum I am planning a new world cichlid tank. There is still so much research to do and I'll have lots of questions I'm sure.

I'm still a while out on starting it so don't expect it by next week or anything. Thanks so much to those that have hung around.

Brief update on things,

60 Gallon
This tank is still running great. My hansbaenchi is still growing daily and is the tank boss. I removed the crabro so the list now reads
2 peacocks
2 electric yellows
1 acei
1 convict
1 rainbow shark

The 29
1 bumblebee
1 red top zebra

The 5.5
Still doing well, a little plant growth.
1 male guppy
2 harlequin rasboras.



Any SA/CA info tips or suggestions please fire away.

What size tank are you working with?

I have a 40b to start. I'll be buying mostly juvies.

The near future plan is the 60 gallon for my Africans, a 75 gallon which I want to make my new world tank and then re using the 40 for something else after the fish are moved to the 75. I make pretty good money so setting the 75 up from the start is possible but two things, 1) the floor in my current rental worries me. I check my 60 daily for any signs of shifting. 2) I'm moving from said rental sometime within the next few months and I feel a lot better about taking down a 40 vs a 75 on top of the tanks I'll already have to move.

So in short a 40 to start with a 75 being about as big as I want to go.

What's the dimensions on a 75? 48"x18"?

I believe so. The first thing I had to decide was South or Central American. Its going to be Central. Im not wanting any huge fish, no Oscars. Im looking for a multi fish tank.

I would start a new thread if your discussing a new stock list.

I would look into Herichthys, such as pantostictus.

labridens.
