buffalo head cichlid set up

[james99]

I'm planning the following tank.

Buffalo head pair
6-8 Congo tetra
4 syno nigriventris
Lots of driftwood and anubias, some current for the cichlids, but not enough to disrupt the others.

Any suggestions as far as additions or changes?

What size tank will you be using? Bill and Annie are my current pair and they love the slate rock cave as well as the cichlid stones especially when breeding. They are the lone fish in a 40g with lots of current, sand and pristine water. They are very interactive and quite nosy. They watch me as much as I watch them, but I can understand wanting activity at different levels. These are by far one of my favorite.

Its a 4ft 65 gallon tank.

Sounds like a very nice setup! My only suggestion is to go on the low end count for the Congo tetras (5-or 6 rather than 8) because they are extremely active and on the large side.

I maybe start off with more and thin them out as they grow since they're be smaller when I buy them.
