pictures / stocking idea?

[Milo]

I was home sick today so i thought i would upload some new pictures of my cichlid tank. Let me know what you think. Also, I am thinking of adding 1 or 2 more cichlids, because i had to bring my saltwater fish back to the lfs they gave me a credit so i might put that towards some new cichlids, not sure if it is a good idea but let me know what you think i should add. I am thinking that I want something more rare in the tank. Not sure if it is rare or not but i was thinking of a black eastern or Cynotilapia sp. "Maleri".

Here is a tank shot

My Red Top

Frontosa

what i was told was a yellow lab

Maybe someone can id this guy, i was told he was a rusty cichlid, but not to sure anymore. Oh fyi the blue/purple one.

The one above this looked like this guy when he was a juvi

maybe a better pic of the one to i.d. top left

Milo- Your tank looks great. But I have to ask, from what I heard, for cichlid tanks, you need a lot of rocks and hiding places. Each fish should have its own place to run and hide at night. The pic you posted along with many other people I've seen on here, you all have a lot of fish and very little stuff...
(now i've always had an unexplainable problem in my tank) Could having to many rocks be a problem?

as for your fish suggestion, I always look at liveaquaria.com they have some neat fish on there that you don't always see (but again, I have no idea how they ship fish).

Hey Kephren01,

Trust me, at night you can't even tell i have fish in the tank, they all have their spot and for any who don't they make a spot underneith the rocks by pushing the gravel out of the way.

Thanks I will check out liveaquaria now. I am still not sure if i am gonna do it due to space.

Nice tank. How big do the Frontosa's get???

 

[Milo]

Frontosa's can get upware of 15"

Great fish, that one is one of my favourites. I am hoping that at some point I can get an all frontosa tank.

 

[silver dollars]

Same here. I want to get a Frontosa tank(now that they look awsome, but i would have to get some info on them before i did that)

 

[Milo]

He's a pretty good fish, I got him off some guy I know, there was a big thing about putting malawi's and a frontosa together, but honestly, he is fine, they don't even bother him. I did however get the frontosa to be a little bit bigger then the other fish, you can't really tell now though from their size.

 

[Fishckabibble]

omg that a huge pleco!!!!!!!! he must be close to 12 inches!!! i love him. and all your cichlids look awsome! great tank!

 

[Milo]

yeah he's pretty big. You can't really tell from the pic's but he is awsome at keeping the tank clean

 

[Milo]

**Bump**

So does anyone know what type of fish that is??? Where are all the cichlid people?

 

[Milo]

*BUMP*

No one knows what sort of cichlid that is... come on everyone, take a look, my husband bought him at pet center back in march, i went back to see what sort of cichlid and they have him labelled as a yellow lab.

Anyone know.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Wait which one? I see one that looks like a yellow lab mix...and a red zebra...

 

[Milo]

hey cichlid man here is the pic again.

i am not sure what fish this one is. let me know if you need a better pic.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Idk, seems to be almost like 2 different fish in the pics. In the pic where he is in the top left corner he looks sorta like a Pseudotropheus saulosi, but in this pic idk what he looks like...possible mix. For now i'm going with a Pseudotropheus saulosi mix.

Hard to tell.

 

[Milo]

Hey Cichlid Man

thanks for the post, well hopefully when he is done "changing" i will post another pic and i can find out exactly what he is. for now here is one more picture.

thanks everyone.

Possibly a hybrid of Pseudotropheus acei. ???
