Thinking about turning one of my 125 gallon tanks into a Malawi tank. Still on the fence, but... stocking suggestions? Let's see if someone comes up with a mix that pushes me over the edge! LOL... To help things along, here is what I want: Lots of colors (I'm talking blues... reds... yellows... black... white... is there a purple? How ever many colors that are possible)! Activity. NO BREEDING... so I'm thinking all males here.

Okay, so... suggest away! Hoping you guys stimulate the imagination on this!

Okay... new question.

Its gonna take me quite a bit of time to get the money to buy males only, because of the sizes they need to be to be sexed. So I am wondering about the viability of a new plan. What if I get my hap/peacock population as unsexed juvies (way cheaper), and then as males and females become apparent, I remove the females, and replace them with males as I go along. That will allow me to get a population of fish now, and then slowly turn it into an all male tank as they grow, at a more affordable rate.

Does this seem like a sound idea... or a bad idea?

I love all african cichlids, thats what I plan to do with my 125g also. I picked up this guy at my LFS the other day, he was hiding. He has some nice blue and orange which you may like. Might be kinda hard for you to find one though cuz I heard they are rare, unless you shop at dave's rare fish :)
