Who to keep? All these guys are somewhat rare

[phoenixx]

What to do, who to keep? I don't know... Trying to get down to one single tank which is 6'x2'x2'

15" Lutjanus. argentimaculatus

OR


2x 6" Fossorochromis rostratus
4x 3" Lichnochromis auciteps
1x 9" Oreochromis tanganicae
2x 7" Petenia splendia


I have raised all of these fish from juvies and would hate to give any of them up. I love the MJ because he is a perfect fit for a single fish tank. Easy on filtration, food, and water changes. I love the cichlids because they are active, colorful and great personalities though they obviously wreak more havoc on filtration, need more food and more frequent water changes.

Are these cichlids rare in the hobby?

Fossochromis aren't rare - but they aren't real common. They have special needs such as a large tank.

non are even somewhat rare. do you have red or marbled snook? the marbled(reg) snook are prob the hardest to get.

I'd go cichlids as the tank just isn't right for a jack.
