Looking to purchase this list of fish for my 125g tank....

The 27 fish will arrive here Thursday! Just ordered a FX5 to make sure the filtration is good!

good luck, to make the introduction go smoothly completely rearrange the decor right before adding the new fish then after the fish have calmed down put the decor back to it's original position. It causes the fish who already have established territories to suddenly have to find new territory instead of them beating up on the already stressed new arrival when they try to hide in the established cichlids territories

The 8 fish that I have in there have only been in the tank for 24 hours. Should I still do that?

well maybe not the entire tank if the 8 are that new to the tank, but i'd still at the very least mess up their favourite locations right before adding the other 27 to confuse them a little since in the few days you wait they could settle in and become very mean to new arrivals.

Okay I will! Thank you! I'll keep posting on how everything works out

Tank looks awesome but cichlids like sand much more and it looks natural

I just introduced all Cichilds and it looks like everything is fine as of now. Kipa25 I would go to sand but wouldn't it be difficult now to go to sand with 35 fish already in the tank. Anyways what kind of sand, how much sand, and what color? Thanks

i find africans look better over white sand since they. It should be fine just to cover the gravel with the sand. rinse it then gently scoop it in if you decide on sand
