New 90 gal tank stocking questions SA & CA - 2007/05/01 03:20 Hi all
Back to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus, darn things have changed!
Just finishid cycling my tank using 20x 1.5'' Zebra Danios, everything went well no fish lost in the month it took.

I found a home for 15 of the ZD so no longer have them.
Tank has pleanty of plants, rock for caves and driftwood.
So here is what I currently have in there:

-5 x Zebra danios (1.5'')
-6 x Firemouth (2'')
-5 x Siamese Algea Eater (2'')

All of the above are getting along, the FMs of course chasing each other around ocasionnaly (I think I might have all males, hard to tell at that size...), and eating well and what they are suposed to.

What I will add short term:

5 x Clown Loaches

I would also like to add some more compatible SA or CA cichlids. Any suggestion on which ones and quantities would be appreciated.

Any and all opnions on my current and planned mix are more the welcome.

Thanks

Pat

Re:New 90 gal tank stocking questions SA & CA - 2007/05/04 16:23 To be perfectly honest, much will depend on your tastes. As long as your setup provides sufficient territories for new fish to claim, you have a very wide selection of fish you could add.

Your best bet is to visit a large breeder/importer/pet store, pick out a handful of different fish that you'd like to be able to keep. Then research each of them, and see if they're compatible.

Obviously, many of the fish you'll select don't naturally meet each other, but if you provide a balance of environments you should be fine.

Just watch that you don't put anything overly aggressive with the firemouths, they're timid...
