I'm still doing research and the information is just overwhelming. So I'm not sure if these are Rift lake or not but they are SAs. I'm trying to put a plan together on my 125 and I have too many ideas running through my head. I REALLY want my centerpiece to be a red flagtail, but I also want other fish to compliment it, get allong with it, ect. So far, this is what I've come up with...
Bottom Tank:
Red Lizard Whiptail Plecostomus (L-10A) (Rineloricaria sp.)
Cherry/Ghost Shrimp
Medium Tank+:
Flame Rainbow (Callochromis pleurospilus Kigoma)
Neon Blue Cichlid (Paracyprichromis nigripinnis)
Chocolate cichlid (Hypselecara temporalis)
1 Red Flagtail (Semaprochilodus insignis)
My tank is going to have a black background and black sand/gravel. I plan on adding driftwood and some river rocks and such. I just LOVE the red and black/silver. I had seen a tank on here a few years back very similar. It had black, black, a red root stump, and a large flagtail and arowana and I think some pacu. I don't remember, it was a while ago but I can't get it out of my head lol.
But then again, I start looking at the cichlids and just love how active they can be. I want a couple that will be large but not fight with the flagtail. I was suggested the chocolate. Looks beautiful without stealing the thunder of it. Either tell me I'm crazy, or what kind of fish would look god and compliment the flagtail and yada yada... There's just SOO much that I'm a bit lost lol.
