So my tank is cycled, although I am waiting a bit after just adding 3 new fish to make sure, and I want to add some more fish.
I have a 46 gallon (36 X 21 X 12.5 inches) bow front tank. So far, I have added Kenyii (1 male, 1 female), OB Zebra (I think 1 male, 1 female ), Super Red Hongi (1 male), OB Peacock (1 male), Sunshine Peacock (1 male). I have ahd comments on the Kenyii being too agressive, but so far they are very sweet. The most agressive is the hongi, and he does chase the sunshine peacock occassionally, but not constantly.
In trying to plan out what to add, I have elimiated a few of my favorites: Blue Dolphins (although I have been trying to convince myslef this will work, but I know better) and Frontosa.
I am still playing with the reality of adding one Duboisi as my husband really wants one. I am concerned of the size of the tank, but more so mixing a duboisi with mbuna. Does anyone have exerience with this, what do you think?
Otherwise I am considering: Yellow Labs (an obvious choice for this tank I think), Brichardi (would like a pair), and Black Calvus (would like a pair). I have heard warnings against the brichardi, but in my past experience they ahve been very sweet fish and simply took over a cave. Does anyone have any thoughts on these?
Other fish that my husband would like include an Electric Blue and some Julies?
Any comments or other suggestions would be welcome as well.
Thanks,
Carol
