Re: request for stock assistance

So I've decided against the Tropheus and I'm considering a Calvus, but that's on the backburner for now. I've also ruled out the Petricola, thanks for the advice. I think I'll go with a BN Pleco instead - I've had them with cichlids before and it's been fine.

I spoke to zeniko the other day, and ...

Re: request for stock assistance

I think I'm leaning towards oakleyride's advice, it's not just about the cost, but also making sure the tank isn't overstocked. However, I do like the idea of having a different coloured cichlid, like a blue one, to add some variety.

request for stock assistance

I've got a 120L low lighting tank, dimensions are 80x40x43cm. I'm doing this on a budget since I'll likely be moving within a year, so no point in splurging.

Considering the following stock:
- 6 lamprologus multies for the shell section
- 4 Julidochromis dickfeldi for the rock section
- 6-8 ...
