another 75G tang thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome input guys!

reason I was saying Calvus + possibility of Frontosa is I wanted some larger tangs to center off the tang. As the shellies and cpys would be towards the bottom.

So stock list

Whats great is a LFS I found has all these stocked and great prices - same as you would see online - minus shipping.

Now unless Mike has some juvies I could buy off him =)


2 or 3 Calvus? - Altolamprologus calvus

3 neloamp brich. / mixed (different types)

6 -Neolamprologus ocellatus (Shellies) OR mixed with Neolamprologus multifasciatus?? im getting lost.

2+ Julies.

4 cyps

2 Nannochromis sp?? - but then again - there would be the cyps.
 
****.. What about - Xenotilapia ornatipinis's? - They'll have to be in groups of 4+ correct?

or they will probably compete with floor space with the Shellies??.

I have time though - be up by new year or little after - as I will be doing a DIY 3d background.. w00t. OR if i get in the spending splurge mode - I'll just pick one up from DBN - shipping will probably kill me though.
 
dang.. what cyps are they?

I'll be looking for some juvies here pretty soon. - What ever my LFS doesnt get in.

So what you guys say about the 2 Nannochromis sp? Or be too much movement in tank?
 
Go with shellies larger than multis... either ocellatus or brevis. Multis will get harassed by adult altolamps as well as the larger species of Julidochromis. Don't mix species. I've never heard of it being done, but in a crowded tank, the smaller variety will get pwn'ed.

In a 75, you may want to omit the brichardi. They can easily take over the tank and rock space will already be at a bit of a premium with the Altolamps and Julies.

You are right; having a group of the ornatapinis will overcrowd the forground area where the shell located. I'd go with one or the other.

Also, go with more cyps.. for your tank, I would look for at least 8 to keep them at ease and keep the male from harassing the females too much.... they can be very pushy when they want to get some.
