I just got a 30 gal for my birthday I was planning on putting 2 pseudotropheous zebra,2 pseudotropheous esterae,2 Melanochromis johanni, and 2 labidochromis caerules. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Too many. That's just too many fish. Those fish need something bigger than that like 55 gallons or something. I would go with about 4 or 5 convict cichlids. They are extremely easy to breed and great fish. They can live in a smaller tank like yours and they will thrive in it. They need a rocky habitat and preferably some caves. HTH. ;D
Actually fishboy, I would go with groups of four, one male and three females. Leave out the Labidochromis caerules, they won't survive in this tank. 12 fish is perfect for a 30 g african tank, IMO.
no not yet it is just so hard with all the testing and maintainence and all that stuff. but i will be getting the discus this week ;D ;D ;D i cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!
Your so lucky! ;D I'm gonna get some discus sometime. Right now I don't have the time or the money to get any. Someday I will. Maybe this summer when I get a bigger tank. ;D
I think i'm going t ogo with sharkbait's idea ;D
Sorry Ryan i kinda don't like convicts and i already have a tank set up for discus Sorry Joe so i wenr with sharkbait's idea ;D
