Rozski Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hypothetically of course And how many of what sizes? I have to say I know nothing about them, apart from the fact electric yellow are cool and many cichlids mouth hold their fry. And some need quite high pH. Yup, thats about it haha. Been focussing on planted communities, not cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Are you wanting to go African Rozski.. there are some fantastic little Dwarf Cichlids from the Americas that will go nicely in a tank that size.... and it can be planted aswell :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Haha, no, it doesn't need to be planted. Be cool to have a rockscape tank with all the bright cichlids I see everyone else with, but realise that those are larger tanks. Nice dwarfs are hard to find though :-? Though panduros are gorgeous... Would dwarf species scrap between themselves? They live more in pairs/trios than in colonys don't they?

Afrikan Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yeah the majority of africans would grow too large for 125L or at least tank is too small to keep many. Nice dwarf flags live well together, they are just gorgeous... JAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 What about brichardi? They would go happily in that size tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doch Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 my 300 litre is getting far to small for my demis and peacocks now and only 6 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Brichardi would be ok, however they are not bright or colourful like the Electric Yellows of which Rozski mentioned earlier. Depends what overall look you want to go for. I like Julidochromis, hard case, like little battle subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 If going african, go with tangs bricardi,Leleupi. And if South american, Rams,Dwarf flags, apistos etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 get some electric yellows, demasoni, red zebras, cobalt blues etc these have bright colours and look great if you use silica sand it will help bring out the colours in the fish better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hmmm Tanks a bit small for all that Si. Luelupi are nice or the Julies, Brichardi are very nice as well...lol Could look at a few things but best to stick to smaller less territorial fish in a tank that size....Panduros are nice fish as are Cockatoos etc etc. Wouldnt do the Rams if you want Rockscape tho. Another thing to consider is the footprint rather than liters..maybe Lionheads? HTH Navarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 yea i suppose so, Just get a bigger tank bigger the better the more fish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Probably better to suggest things Si that can live in the tank long term, its all good us suggesting to get a bigger tank, but bear in mind that maybe that is all Rozski has to play with :lol: (for now) Tangys would probably be your best bet long term if you were to go African. Julidos are a heap of fun, awesome fish who will keep you entertained for rather a while :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Kribs. they are small, pretty and undemanding re water hardness. Nice rocky aquascape, few plants if you want em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Plus I need to look up all the fish you've listed that I don't know, like luelupis or julies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
