Ok so scratch the crayfish i found 1 for $33 which i dont wanna pay if its gonna get eaten or eat my fish.. which i just read is more then likely to happen....i would rather have my fish anyday..
kjacks said:Ok so here it is .. im hopin i got it all right this time..
Pundamilia macrocephala
Pundamila nyererei (anchor island, luanza or ruti ) not sure which one i like best yet...
Xystichromis phytophagus (christmas fulu)
Lithochromis rufus
Pseudotropheus socolofi (snow white soc.)
Cyno afra cobue (if its ok to mix )
I also would like to try a louisiana blue crayfish once i look into it more..saw what i think was one on a youtube clip with africans.. n i added the snow white bc i want a more solid n thought the white would look good with the black fish n all the other colors if there is a better fish please do tell .. i also tried to stick with herbs or omnis.. i know the one is a carnivore but it said to feed it daphnia, brine shrimp, cyclops or mosquito larvae figured the omni food would work for that too
Ok so whats the damage... :/
AndrewsPistol said:Hey! I've missed a ton! Here is my honest opinion... Lets stick with just one obliqueden. The first 3 species you've mentioned have very similar melanin patterns. They will for sure have it out for each other all the time. You might get away with the Rufus.... Personally, if it was me, I would probably opt for Neichromus Greenwoodi So I would say pick one male and 4 females of the Obliquiden of your choice, definitely go with the Socilofi, and my Afra is great with my gang so that's a good fit IMO
kjacks said:I just tried lookin for my fish to so i think ill have to change the p mac.. its to rare.. i liked that it was mostly black though.. i dont remember what the 3 fish look like exactly since i have saw sooo many ill have to recheck them which im sure u r right .. yea missed alot since u have been busy with ur new tank.. lol
AndrewsPistol said:Haha! Yes! That and work :/ 2 builds is starting to wear me thin lol. I'm tellin ya, this 55g your building will only be "big" and good enough for a short time! You'll be dreaming bigger and better in no time! The first time you lay your eyes on a 6ft tank in person you will be sold haha!

Dean jones said:How about pseudotropheus flavus,looks like a bumble bee ? Grows to about 4 to 5 inches,not as aggressive as some Mbuna and breeds easily in an aquarium Or Metriaclima Zebra Gold Kawanga,which is also like a bumble bee
