stocking

Will Yellow Labs, Cobue Afra, and either Flavus or Rustys work? For another tank idea, can clown labs (Chislumsae) and flavus coexist, or do I need to work about conspecific?

Hi all, I have a 150 gallon tank that has 700 lbs of rock for cover, the tank has been fishless cycling for over three weeks, ammonia is 0-ppm, nitrates have spiked and are dropping, plan on doing water change and stocking this tank with its full fish load of 64 Mbuna next week. Its filtered by...

I have a 40g breeder, and I was given bad advice, and I was wanting to see what you guys think. I have 450 gph of filtration, and I do small 1, or 2 gallon wc every other day. I have flower pots, and stacked rock for hiding spots. Bear with me with the stock, I got what they told me to get. 1...

Hi, I have recently decided to transform my 55G into a Malawi tank and currently have 4 Yellow Labs, 4 Red Zebras and a Plec (The LFS was very limited at the time) and was going to keep it pure mbuna, although, a lot of posts and threads I have looked at say that other lake cichlids are...

hi everyone, setting up my 46 bowfront and would like to get some input on stocking. i'd like to put some yellow labs in there (husband likes them), what should i put with them? i'm ok w/ male and female. # for each species? m/f ratio? filtration is a cascade 700 canister filter rated...

Okay not completely lost. I've had fish before but they are mostly mollies, platys, bettas, angels and anything else that my parents decided to get for our 55. This 40 gal will be the biggest tank i have ever tried to stock by myself. I've had it set up for almost a month now thinking i would...

To keep myself more occupied, I've decided to venture into the nano world. I already have the tank and parts, I just need stocking options. I know I want to do plants for sure, but not sure for fish stock. I'm open to anything really, except catfish. I'll even do shrimp :p I'd prefer to have...

I have a 55g with lots of rocks and @20 juvenile mbuna. I know when they gt bigger I will have to thin it out, but what is a good stocking number or the 55. People keep telling me ht crowing up to 25 is what I should do. For filtration I ave two aquaclear 70s.

I am trying to get my final stocking of my 72 gallon tank set . right now I have two Red Parrot Ciclids, 4 Julie Cory Catfish, 3 brown Cory Catfish and one bristle nose pleco. I was wondering what other Cichlids I could have in the tank. I am thinking about getting a pair of blue anglefish from...

I have narrowed down the choices to stock my soon to be set up 90 gallon tank. Tank will contain PFS, manzanita and malaysian driftwood, a few rocks, and some hardy plants. Currently the plans are to build a community tank around the following fish: 6-8 Geophagus sp. 'Red Head Tapajos' 15-20...

I was fortunate enough to win a 90g tank setup donated by the Monster Aquaria Network. I currently have a 55g community setup that I will upgrade to this 90g tank. I currently have a few tetras, rasboras, a school of cories, a couple of fancy plecos, one discus, and a few random fish...

I stole this list from another forum. They had it set up for a 75 Gal. My tank is 125 gal. So I have a few questions. #1 what else can I add to fill the tank #2 what other things should I put in the tank I have stacks of flat stones that make caves and platforms of all different sizes but...

My first thought on stocking my 180 gallon tank is going with a loose South American theme. My first question is how "terrible" are Green Terrors. Would they work with things like Silver Dollars, Severums and Earth-eaters?

Looking for new world stocking ideas... I've had a 45 gallon planted tank set up for a long time - probably pushing 8 years now. It's full of anubias and drift wood. I used to have rainbows stocked in there, but sort of lost interest. It's planted super dense, so there's not too much open...

So I have a 40L with about 9 Orange laser cories, 1 lone cardinal tetra, and a male blue ram. Everyone else did not make the move....oh and some plants. I am cleaning up the basement tonight and hopefully tomorrow setting up the 125. Its a sump, titanium heater, and a emp 400 on it. I was...

OK..I have a 55 african tank with: 3- Yellow labs 3- Aceis 3- Socolofi 3 -Rub red peacocks 3- Tretocephalus (5 bar cichlid) I had 2 chocolate cichlids in there wich have since been rehoused in my 46 bow....all fish are about 1 1/2 inchs. Wanted to know if Im over stocked or if I could add...

I was just wondering if I could do some Tropheus in a 75g? I was going to do them in my 150, but don't have the money to buy that many. How many would I need for a 75?

I'd like to stay away from the extreme aggressors. Read the Melanochromis & Demasoni I already have will be crazy trouble eventually. I'm not 100% sure how many of each I have, but I will add to them to make a total of 3 or 4 each and that's all. Are Kenyi also excessively angry? New species I...

Looking for interesting Old World options for a 40 breeder. Maybe shellies of some sort plus ???? Or cyps??? How big do Calvus get?? Open to suggestions . . . Could a maylandi peacock colony work? (I have a kandeense colony in a 45 with great success)

I may be getting a hankering to restock my 40 gallon breeder. :eek: Current stock: pair of rainbow cichlids, 10 marbled hatchets, 12 galaxy rasboras, 2 albino BN plecos and 6 sterbai cories. Tank has black sand substrate with rocks, driftwood and silk plants to hide the equipment. I don't want...
