I have a 75 gallon tank I want to turn into a Lake Tanganyikan setup. I need some tips on what to stock it with. I do know I want some Altolamprologus calvus... so how much of what can I put in this tank?
 
Calvus grow so slowly it doesn't matter too much. I would go with six calvus, a dozen cyps of whichever type you prefer, and a colony of shell dwellers.

I almost did a big tang tank and was going to do 2-3 Frontosas, a small group of white or black calvus, and then maybe leleupis or brichardi.
 
Definitely +1 on the Cyps, they will bring out all the other ones used to hiding under the rocks. Another alternative will be to go with an all Trophs tank. That will be fun to look at
 
I'm doing a colony tank in my 75gal. I have a group of N. Pulcher. Just waiting for a pair to form then ill remove the others. I've kept a brichardi colony in a 30long and if was very rewarding.
