Our New 180 gallon!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree that is overstocked but then again so are mine lol. I just got some fish from Jeff too. Did you get your's Friday? I only got 3 fish but it was still fun opening up the box lol.
You have some fish that may not work with some of your other stock but only time will tell. The Rotkeil comes to mind.
 
Its much easier in my opinion doing the overstocking with African Cichlids,not all but majority of the malawi's,but since you have the bulky bad azz cichlids,they will start tearing each other apart,when they reach at least 5 inches or more.When that GT reaches 5 to 6 inches,there is a good reason why they're called Terrors,not cause they're bullies,but they will rip apart a cichlid they don't like period
 
I agree it may be a little over stock, although, good choices, minus the Oscar, Pecock Bass and the Petenia Splendida.

way too many fish if they are large. If they arent, just keep in mind youll have to thin the stock out as they grow so start watching for compatibility.

Going to +1 on this advise - this is how I'm stocking my SA/CA community (course I have about half that in a 150g). Overstock as juvies and then thin out the stock as they grow out/up together.
