no offense man but I can barely make out whatever you are trying to say.killerfish;950856;950856 said:
I got that a del (what is a del... delhezi?) could eat a krib, jewel cichlid then idk if you are saying "when young" speaking of the tetras or jewel or speaking of the tetras and butterfly fish or what.
Then what are labs?
too many abbreviations, and no punctuations make my head hurt.
Ok, here is what I was thinking stocking wise...
The reason I am even thinking about this now when I won't have a tank set up in over a month is because some of these fish aren't real common around here (albino sens, delhezi, ctenopama, african butterfly fish) so if I am able to find one by chance between now and then, I could always throw it in my 50 gallon at my parents for the time being, or my brothers 30 gallon possibly.
This is for a standard 75 gallon tank...
-African Butterfly Fish (3)... slow and boring... but something for the top of the tank
-African Knifefish (1)... had one in the past, one of my favorite fish
-Bichirs (3)... albino sen, sen, and/or delhezi. one of each or multiples of one... idk... but gonna be 3 bichir
-Mid-Water Fish (2-4)... these will be kribs, jewels (maybe), or ctenopamas if I can find them. The cichlids will NOT be breeding pairs so no worries with that. If I can find kribs big enough I will use those... I just don't want them to be a snack. Not sure on jewels... they have a nasty reputation but the one I had a while back was a wimp.
How does that look? There would be NO chance of a tank upgrade for at least 3 years, so this isnt a grow out situation or anything. I don't really know how to stock these fish because I have no experience with them. most of my fish experience has been with cichlids and with them you hav eot worry about territories and ****.
So... is this close to overstocked? just fine? lightly stocked? overstocked?
