80 gallon malawi tank

[ryanc2106]

I had a 60 gallon before with peacocks,red emp. And some others before but I'm planing on doing a 80 gallon tank now with larger cichlids I want to know which ones I can go with and how many? For sure I want another red empress and I want a electric blue,can that work ? And what other md. To lrg. Size malawi cichlids can I can? I'm trying to talk my wife into a 120 so what are my options

peacocks, and other small haps... nothing large

i have 2 electric blue's w/ my red empress, also some ideas are deep water hap, sp. 35 tomato, a hap venustus would be fun, i've got one but they get huge FAST, strawberry peackcocks are really pretty, i'm also a fan of dimidiochromis compressisepts aka malawi eye biter.

These will all get too big (in bold). My deep water hap is almost too big for a 120.
