210g Stocking Suggestions |

Currently have a 210g modified reef ready aquarium (removed |
|
overflow towers and replaced with H2Overflows from |
|
CustomAquarium.com) with a 50g sump containing 1g MarinePure |
|
spheres (500g capacity) and an 12" x 12" Algae Turf Scrubber. |
|
Lighting is a 10,000k single LED fixture. The tank started as a |
|
planted discus display tank but has regressed into a South |
|
American community tank. I'm making a change over the winter to |
|
an all male Malawi tank. I've kept Africans in the past (many, |
|
many, many moons ago) but only in single specie breeding set |
|
ups. This will be my first attempt at an African "community" |
|
tank. I'm using the CaribSea "salt & pepper" substrate and |
|
holey rock. Back glass is painted black. |
|
I'm looking to stock this with Malawi species (adult size 4" - |
|
6"). I prefer more medium sized rather than fewer monsters. |
|
I've watched John's 3 part video on purchasing, and love the 240 |
|
tank in the background, as well as his video on his stocking |
|
"equation". I'm not looking to breed so an all-male set up |
|
would suit me fine. There will be some scavengers (synodontis & |
|
ancistomus). |
|
Any suggestions? |
|
Thanks, |
|
Ray |

I suggest Peacocks more specifically OB Peacocks and Firefish |
|
Dragon Blood Peacocks, most Peacocks are beautiful and those two |
|
are especially beautiful. |
