new african tank 220g

[1974Pantera]

i hear ya on the flamebacks hopefully they will hide out enough! if not i can switch em over to my 75. they really are immpressive ill post some pics as soon as they get settled in

Personally, I wouldn't wait and would put them in your 75g right away. Ah yes, they are nice and you might want to look into getting some , Xystichromis sp. "Kyoga flameback" which exhibit much more color than the Haplochromis sp. "flameback".

Another nice addition to your tank would be some Astatotilapia Burtoni. A non Victorian look-a-like that will definitely liven up the tank and will provide a color missing with your stock list.

 

[1974Pantera]

here's the list i started with :

2 protomelas red empress 4"
2 placidochromas electra 4"
1 codadochromis mloto white head 4"
2 psvedotrophels cherry red zebras 2"
3 psvedo aceingara whitetail 2"
2 psvedo sololffi 2"
4 haplochromis flameback 2"
4 psvedo cobalt blue 2"
3 avlonovara ruby red 2"
4 haplo obliquedeni zebra 2"
3 psvedo acei xeon tails 2"

One last thing, if your astatotilapia latifasciata (zebra) are both males, you will have problems and if so, get another one of similar size. If you have both sexes, then get ready to pass out the cigars. Unlike most Vics, where you normally need a 3 to 1 ratio, just having one of each will get you into "fry" trouble.
