Tank peramiters PH 8, Hard,runnin for 8 months now.Maybe a big Tang tank or maybe community as I have a 55 (see my prfile) which I could incorporate and put the Bichirs in the 55? Just need some suggestions, kinda lost and really dont want to buy any more "trial" fish. Well anyhoo I think I have the bottom covered, need mid top help?

c. letosoma
blue flash comes in a few colour morphs neonblue back or yellow tailed r amazing upper dwellers for a tang tank

A school of giant danios would look very impressive.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Well THX for the replies. I really like the idea of the Cyprichromis Leptosoma. Only problem is that they are not available to me at the LFS's. I could try Chicago or a local breeder. I forgot I also have a Brichardi in there (white with blue eyes and fin tips). So that is 4 cichlids now. Now lets talk #'s. If I kept the Brichardi and the Tretocephalus, got rid of the EL and Peacock, what #'s to go with. I would have to find larger new fish also(3" atleast). Maybe 10 Cyp's? Maybe more Tret's or Brichardi? Keep the ideas coming.

i dont think the danios r a good idea for a tang tank

what im going to b doing is a 125g tank a bit of rock work along the back with multies n lots of shells with the letosomas up top n maybe a few sunshine peacocks for the rock work
so the whole tank wood b alive

10 letosomas wood b amazing number for that tank
how r u planning on setting it up ie: shell bed bottom with sand - rock work in caves - round rocks in piles etc.

Well the tank is setup for rock cichlids. 35lbs of ECO cichlid substrate(grayish) and 17lbs of crushed coral(white). It has about 100lbs of texas holy rock some fake and real driftwood , and is lightly planted(swords mostly). I had Mbuna(long time in 55 then 125) ,switched to peacocks but havent had luck. Therefore leaning toward Tangs. The rockwork and wood is at sides and wraps around back(except planted back middle), leaving open area mid half front tank(catfish roaming/playing area).Its kinda like a horseshoe of caves. Looking into larger Cyps from a local breeder. I'll work on gettin 10. How about the Tret's or Brichardi #'s. I really like them both. Also I cant get too small of cichlid types as I have the Bichirs in there. THX for your help and suggestions.
