	400 gal tank stocking-
greenfootball Fish Addict Posts: 613 Kudos: 360 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jul-2001	i say get 600 neons i dunno where you would find that many, but they are active and colorful. but i guess since you posted this here, you want cichlids.... 6 discus(can try diff colors) 6 angels 2 parrot 2 pleco 2 severum ps. just thought about the water condition discus need... so they prob wont work, either replace them with something else, or double up the angels and discus and get rid of the parrot and severum. i still think you should do the 600 neons

hca Fish Addict Posts: 783 Kudos: 434 Votes: 211 Registered: 06-Mar-2004	Id like to keep aggression minimal, boss wants the tank to look "full" . Im thinking more along the lines of several smaller cichlids like rams or kribs, apistos,,,, with a few larger ones like severums and the blood parrots. I just dont know if that would work..... If the above wouldnt work- how would blood parrots, rosey queens, severums and firemouths get along??

Stella Big Fish Posts: 387 Kudos: 974 Votes: 16 Registered: 23-Feb-2003	I think they do it because its supposed to be bad luck or something to type Pleco - I think anyway Stella

hca Fish Addict Posts: 783 Kudos: 434 Votes: 211 Registered: 06-Mar-2004	i get to stock the new 400 gal tank at work, around 2 8 in bloodparrots and a 18 in common pleco. they want color, activity and personality. so what would you do with this tank??? the 2 blood parrots id say are on the more peaceful side.

I personally like the Red Empress. Or you can even do quite a few peacock cichlids. They're very colorful and your tank seems big enough to where you might be able to have a few males or so. As long as you have caves and hiding spots.

me is already in use Fish Addict Posts: 596 Kudos: 99 Votes: 25 Registered: 02-Dec-2003	Don't get electric yellows cause their pH is a lot different, right? If shelldwellers are compatible you could get a huge colony of them...I think that would be cool

jkalfsbeck Enthusiast Posts: 193 Kudos: 132 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Dec-2002	I don't think it would take much to buffer the ph if it's needed. There's instant pH buffer or just add some crushed coral or some lime stone slabs. But I think a good size school of electric yellows would be awesome. And a pair of frontosa would be cool too. If their pH requirements are the same I can't remember. Been out of the cichlid picture for a while , I'm just involved in marine tanks now. But telling you from owning a school of yellows there's not a better color looking freshwater fish out there.
