heres all the fish below

1 sunshine peacock
1 yellow lab
1 elongatus
2 asst africans?
2 frontosas (not permanent)
2 severums(also not permanent)

I've had a few peacocks over a few years. Try not to mix peacocks of the same color, otherwise there shouldn't be a huge problem.

Welcome back, can't wait to see pics!

Welcome back! Peacocks are really nice, OBs are my fav

 

[Big Vine]

Yup, welcome back...it's nice to know that you've got your African tank well underway. Be sure to give us a glimpse of the tank once you're ready to post pics, eh?

thanks evrybody!! ill try to get some good pics up soon.

i am really happy about my african tank but its wierd reading all the new stuff people are getting oscars and id never heard the phrase "wet pet" before but before i read what people wrote about there oscars i thought that it would be boring having just a single fish in a tank but from what ive read you can interact with them a lot huh?

[Cichlid-Man]

Thats a green sev just fyi. And it doesn't look like a sunshine peacock, to orange.

 

[burtoncb47]

hahaha oops!! and there are two types of sunshines there are the golden sunshines which i believe you are referring to and there are orange sunshines.

 

[burtoncb47]

well i just got home form the fish store with two new additions to my tank! i got an OB Peacock and a julidochromis(spell?)! they are really cool the juli is a lil shy but the ob is very social. there was barely any aggression on them when they first went in the tank! im excited!!

[Katie217]

Nice, I'm really surprized that the cory cat is still alive honestly!

 

[burtoncb47]

thanks!!
katie- the cichlids dont mess with the corys that much. i have two corys, 2-3 flyingfoxes, and a CAE or a SAE(not sure which one lol)
thanks again.

Nice fish though i'm concerend about all the different regions being mixed in one tank, especially diet wise...as well as different aggressions.

SA, Tang, and Malawi in one tank.

 

[burtoncb47]

IMO the tangs and malawi are ok the SA shouldnt be in there i know....

but thanks C-Man!!

those are such beautiful cichlids, is there any plant they wouldnt ruin? such as java moss or java fern?
