Help me stock my 220

[soultrain]

I do like the idea of the Vieja as the center piece with a bunch of smaller cichlids. Do you think a pair of Viejas would be too nasty?

 

[polomax24]

i say...

vieja argentea
vieja zonatum
vieja synspillum
blackbelt

if you want more variety, feel free to add doses of

red tiger mota female
festae female
cuban cichlid

i think the best would be an argentea (cuz i think they are the nicest viejas) with some large clown loaches.

I like the suggestion. Almost identical to my collection expect the zonatus.

Bifasciatus have one hes great 6inches

Have you got a pair? That fish looks ready to spawn...very nice. And fat

in my 220 i have a synspilum, a flowerhorn, a managuense, 3 jd, a couple convicts for feeder production, 2 plecos and a channel cat, they all get along since they've been raised together, i did have to remove my carpinte because he wanted to breed the flowerhorn and kill my synspilum

Ok I just want to run this by everyone for a final list:

Pair of V. argentea
1 festae female
1 moto female
1 cuban
5 T. mitexo
5 A. myrnae
and a couple of severum

You guys think this will work or am I just making sushi?

I think thats a good list...definently gotta have some severums, theyre sweet. Might be cool to add some large pictus cats or 4-line pictus as bottom feeders. let us know wut u end up stockin it with.

Yeah I will let ya know, hopefully building the stand this weekend with my buddie and I already have my wet/dry cycling in my sump with a bunch of feeder guppies. So by the time its all set up I should be able to start stocking...the anticipation is killin me!
