Okay thanks, CowMoo.

Hi Guys, I've got 6 Maingano in a mbuna 55 gal community tank that are a little too rowdy. No way, I'm getting rid of them, they're my favorite. Picked up another 55 gallon on sale and plan on doing a Maingano species tank. I've got 6 already, how many more could I comfortably add? I was...

Ok thx, I had thought a few females helps to lessen the aggression but I'm learning it can make it a lot worse. I might try and breed down the road but not now. Thanks for the input.

No, I won't shun any advice especially from veterans who have been around the hobby for awhile. Grateful to have you guys. I didn't have to visit a LFS and deal with some kid condescending to me , etc. I will definitely get some picks once everything is rolling with some those recommended...

Really appreciate the advice guys. Yes I'll come down on the quantity to probably 13 - 14 and nix the ideas of haps. Probably just saved me a bunch of headaches. Thx again!

Hi everyone.. Was hoping to get stocking advice for a regular 55 gal. I have done mbuna before with success and now want to try a peacock and haps tank. I also want to do a trio of yellow labs because I heard they're compatible. ?? Questions: 1.) How many fish could I reasonably do? I...

I was wondering if this could be done in FL. I thought about driving down there and giving it a try. Has anyone done this? Know of any good areas.

Thanks, I think the Picasso is for me.. lot's of personality and pretty hardy. Is it true it actually will grunt at you at feeding times? So you think the Niger would be okay with a Picasso? Niger's a beauty a well.

Thank you sir. That seems to be the consensus.

I agree, you guys are the best. It's like having a team of vets / plumbers / zookeepers at your finger tips. Very cool.

Can anyone provide stocking options with Triggerfish (esp. Picasso)? Can Tangs really coexist with them? I've got a 110gal. Don't plan on doing a reef. Thanks, - Jay

Thanks austinsdad, the tang's are what I wanted most. I probably will do the mated clowns, tank raised too. Good stuff, you're the man.

Thanks roka.. I probably will stay away from tangs. What species do you have? What have you had the best luck with, longevity, etc?

Little leary about this. Can somebody give me a good stocking list for a 110gal with live rock 80pds? From what I read I could do 20 - 22 inches of fish? Here's what seems to be the hardiest for inital stocking: 2 Yellow Tangs 3 Clowns (Don't know which species is best) 1 Dwarf Angel...

Okay thanks a lot!!

What are the other alternatives to cycling without Damsels? Hermit crabs and Live Rock? I can see the rationale for not using Damsels, as mean as they are.

Hello, trying to get started with salt. I've noticed some pretty incredible deals on Ebay. Lot's of whole set-ups people have to let go because they're moving , etc. Can anyone share their experience(s), good or bad? Thanks.
