So some even bigger news. If you’ve seen some of my recent threads I’ve rehomed Bruce, my Carpintis, and will be moving Con Solo into my 75. The work load in my classes has increased a lot this semester and it’s only going to get more difficult as time passes, so thought it’d be best for both myself and the fish to rehome Bruce before he grew too large. I’d hate to have to choose between my studies and taking care of my cichlids, I think that stress would kill me. Having Con Solo in the 75 will be so much more manageable being my only tank. Now I’m rambling lol, talked about this more in my other thread.
I mentioned in one of the above post some of the ideas I had for the 55. Still sticking to those same ideas for the most part just now a little bigger tank size. I was able to get 6 swordtails at one of the lfs in my area and they'll be quarantining in the 75 for the next couple of weeks. Never was much interested in livebearers but they're actually quite pleasant fish. I believe I have a split 50/50 ratio of males to females so 3 and 3. I'm unsure if I am going to go down the female convict route. I've been reading some other threads and others have stated that would most likely just make the swordtails unnecessary targets for the cichlids rather than dithers. Most likely will be keeping Con Solo as the solo centerpiece cichlid. Very excited to get this all put together.
