Keep out the butti and it looks good. Butti's get monster and will destroy every fish in your planned stocklist. Goodluck

thats what i figured, amazing fish tho. what else can i add to that stock besides butti.

I think that stock list you have looks pretty good; I would stay away from The Butti with those fish. Maybe add a few red tailed barbs as dithers and it will look sweet.

thanks, anything else i could add tho?

If I were to add anything else it would be maybe a couple feather fin cats (eupterus) and dithers....I think you have enough of the main "staple" cichlids. Just my opinion...

 

[honda237]

ya i could. Could i possible add a bartoni or a Herichthys labridens

 

[turtlesrock]

get a pike of small mouth bass.. or two of each! the pike will definentyly add a cool look to the tank! i love having primitive fish

 

[honda237]

ya that would be cool to add a pike cichlid. could i add either a
bartoni or
Herichthys labridens or
cuban cichlid
