Hey all, one of the rare times I'm going to actually start my own thread!
So, here's the situation:
I found a 120 stout (48.5"L x 24.5"D x 25.25"H as quoted by the craigslister) I wanna buy (even if Mog says it's above resale value). So I am pretty sure I'm gonna stick with my love for Tanganyikan fish, however, I still want the tank to seem stocked and not empty.
Current Tangs I own:
TANK ONE, 20 long
8 Neolamprologus multifasctiatus
2 Spathodus erythrodon 'Burundi'
5 lophiobagrus cyclurus (dwarf tang bullhead cats)
1 synodontis petricola.
TANK TWO 39 column
2 Neolamprologus ocellatus 'purple'
1 Neolamprologus brichardi (his face is deformed, felt bad for him)
So for the stout, I'm debating on who would be moved out of the 20 long/39 column. I was thinking of moving the ocellatus into the 20, leaving the gobies (they're a breeding pair but the multis stress the female out when she's holding and she ends up swallowing them.
I would add the multis, bullheads, and syno (add a few more for him as well).
So that leaves me with what else I should add. Cyprichromis of some sort for sure (thinking microlepidotus, a store back home in Michigan breeds them). Any other ideas? I'd like some larger fish, but I'm having trouble thinking up more peaceful tangs that could go with shellies and the likes.
