Alright, Tropheus are out ... so now I need to replace them with something to bring some life back to the aquarium. Size of the aquarium is 200 gallons... 7' length.
Here is my current stock list...
7 Callochromis Pleurospilus (mature, all about 3"-4")
10 Altolamprologus Calvus (juvenile, all about 1")
12 Paracyprichromis Nigripinnis (juvenile, all about 1"-2")
What should I add? I got some empty shells in there...was thinking a trio of L. Stappersi if I could ever find one. Also looking at Gnathochromis Permaxillaris, getting about three to six of them. They get fairly large...in the 6" range. Their mouths are kinda ugly though.
Not mine...but this is what they look like.

My only issue is ... too many sand dwellers and sifters together in one tank?
What I really want is to have something in the open water, but more fuller bodied than the Paracyp's. No featherfins because they will compete for sand with the Callochromis.
Give me your ideas. I look at the tank every night and would love more fish.
Thank you
Chris
