SA Cichlid Stocking

[andro23]

What do you all think of this stock for a 150G (72x20x24) with 3 XP3 canisters and 2 Aqua Clear 110s.

1 Oscar
3 Rotkeil Severums
4 Rainbow Cichlids
5 Geo. surinamensis
1 Royal Pleco

Sounds good to me.

Thanks, just making sure it wasnt to many fish for the tank.

nope sounds like a pretty sweet stock! make sure to post pics when you have it all set up, and you will just have to make sure to keep up with water quality once the oscar, sevs and all the geos are full grown

My geos are fully grown and i have 2 severums now. Hoping that adding a 3rd will form a pair as I have a male and a female which arnt getting along. Female is strangely the aggressor. So I may be down to 2 severums again if a pair forms, or at the very least Im hoping aggression is spread out among 2 fish instead of 1 just pounding the other. I will get started on this when Rapps gets some more Oscars in Thanks for the encouraging words.

Dont wait too long,the Sevs may not accept an Oscar once they get comfey in thier tank.

Imo you should lose the Oscar and Royal pleco. They're just way too messy.

How did you find room for 5 filters?

 

[andro23]

Its not bad actually, the 2 AC 110s are on each end and the canister intakes are every 2ft. The canister returns are various heights...I use 2 Jet attachments on each end and 1 low placed spraybar in the center.
