Stock list for 125 - Need help!

Also, just curious, what are your filtration plans for this tank?

I'd definitely do the myrnae in their own tank. They are pretty hard to come by, and if you are willing to ship, you could move some of the fry.

@aclockworkorange - The tank came with a Rena xp3 but I also have a Fluval 305 from a previous tank. I was planning on using both unless you guys think I could get away with just one or the other.

As a little more information I sent this stock list to Gage and his main concern was the hartwegi. I guess I have heard that in general hartwegi do better in communities than other Vieja. But like all cichlids I know it will really depend on the fish. Does anybody else have much experience or knowledge about these guys as it is not easy to find info on them?

I am planning on getting them all as small as possible but didn't know if everyone thought that I should try to get them as all male? That way I don't have to worry about cross breeding.

Thanks,

it may be hard to get positive ID on small fish of sex.i would plan to get a few of each to get all males,also gives you choices with individuals personalities/compatibility.i would use both filters,you could start with one,then as they grow add increase to the adding the 2nd filter

So everybody thinks that my stock list at least has a shot at working? I know with cichlids that is all anybody can really say. Thanks again.

Getting all of them together and putting them it at once will help. Good luck!
