To start off with , you presume im putting all the listed fish in. Secondly your verbal approach is terrible. Although yes your advice is greatly apprecciated it does not mean you can assume a right to tell anyone to forget about their dreams. By rights i have chose Johannis for their calmer...

Wow thankyou for the swift advice. i was thinking Zebras,auratus, labs, chipokae, johanni, trewavasae, fwelleborns, slender mbuna Ooooh maybe even tropheops i figured overstocking would be the key. what could you tell me from that list :)
