Looking for ideas what to stock in the new tank.. I now have a 46gl bow (36") tank, with 7 afra cobues, 4 Rusties, 4 yellow labs, 3 syno cats, and a Tangerine Nyererey (my favorite). Will need to move some or all into the new tank. Also, I would like to have some Peacocks and a couple more Vics.. Looking for lots of ideas and not to overcrowd the tank again.. Thanks..

I think the Frontosas would have my labs for dinner, and my afras for dessert.. LOL.. :ROFL:

I'm really planning to get Haps and Vics to mix with the Mbunas.. Not sure how many I can add to that tank.. Also, I'm still not sure what to do with the 46 bow.. It may come in handy..

sounds nice! you got any pics? i would recommend mabye some more electric yellows, electric blue ahli hap, mabye a hap.44 thickskin or 2... r u interested in breeding any? blue dolfins are nice to watch grow up too and they tanke a while so you don't have to worry about them breeding for quite a while... males get big! the suggestion below sounds good too
 
The 46 would be great for a single species tank, especially a Victorian species tank.

How about some Paralabidochromis chromogynos? Bre has a bunch of terrific pictures of hers on here somewhere. Interesting piebald species of Victorian that is towards the low end of the aggression end. With your Pundamilia, I'd watch what Vics I mixed with him, and make sure that there is no chance of cross breeding.
 
i love watching a colony of fronts. i have a colony in a tank with some yellow labs and they seem to do just fine!

Thanks... Lady B.. That will be definetelly on my list.. I also like to have some Red Empress Haps, some Kribensis and some Nyererey.. Need to make sure they can live together calmly..

Took a look at all these fish, and love the blue dolfin. Also, the hap 44 looks great.. Just waiting for the replacement for this tank.. The original, arrived damaged, and the store is replacing it..

Ps. I'm being careful in how many fish to stock this tank.. If I stock 1 male to 2 females, I hope it will work..
