55gallon african cichlid tank

[ErnieG]

I just set up my new 55gallon and wanted some suggestions on afican cichlids, I know that i want daffodils but what else can i stock in the tank?

 

[ErnieG]

No suggestions?

Daffodils fill the tank on their own if you let them. A Calvin's or two might help some with fry control. Syno cats might do a little too. Something that sticks to the top like cyps might work too.

A julie pair might work, but I would look for a confirmation from someone with the more experience with Tanganyikan cichlids.

Julie's will work. Look at my pics on my album. I had about 5 generations of adult daffodils and Julie's plus others in my 90 gal. Good luck.

I had a 55 stocked for a while with Lemon Jakes, 1 species of vic, Julies, and A. comprecisseps. Not the world's best combination, but it worked for a while. I split it up because I wanted to be able to feed a diet more suited to each species.

I've heard that Julies go well with Daffodils....something about Julies tending to heard their young toward the rocks, while the other heards them away from the rocks.
