. Anyhow, we stopped by my local petco just to look around at the fish they had (they got in a huge shipment of all sorts of ausome saltwater fish- 2 or 3 different kinds of blowfish and all sorts of stuff that they usually dont have) and i saw the gouramis and African Chichlids they had.. According to petco's compatability chart, You cant mix Gourami's and African Chiclids, but they have a wider variety of African's so i may just put those in my tank. I currently have a bunch of live plants and a few fish to cycle the tank (a few cheap platies and some silver fish??), 12 fish total. Since African's dont get along with them i will most likely move them in a month or two once the cycling is going well to my other tank (my old 29g or 35- dont remember) which i will move downstairs- it was replaced with my new 75g.. I was wondering if african's will do well with lots of plants? approximately half of the tank is planted (right side is planted like a forest) and the left side has an awesome rock formation i made.. they wont eat my plants, right? i know that S.A. chichlids will?.. Are African's tough fish? i dont want something thats extremely high maintenance thats why i like the smaller guppies, platties, etc.. theyre cheap and you dont go broke when you buy one or two.. but after realizing chichlids are only around 6 or 7$ on average, most in the 5-6$ area, i figure its worth a shot.. not exactly cheap but theyre ausome.. Any other fish that africans would live peacefully with?? guppies? platties? all help is appreciated thanks!
! I saw them floating around on bamboo skimming the water for food.. really awesome.
just hit me up
lol it was 24 for like 20.50.. plus some marimo balls.. just waiting on the moss to put some on my rock formation i set up on the left side of the tank.. so i have some plants just floating around for now until i finally get my 30g moved downstairs. Thinking of actually making it a saltwater tho.. always wanted to get into saltwater but its just too expensive.. so i might do a basic saltwater setup in the 30g to practice =o. Anyhow, let me know if you can ship them or have them brought closer to me?? I live in East brunswick.. its like.. central/northern NJ.. if not, any idea as to places nearby that may carry them?
:icon_lol:See guys, Ýou are all so painfully closed minded. Lol. You can keep some types of africans with plants AND gouramis. Shell dwelling africans and dwarf gouramis will be fine together, no shrimp though, read up on lamprologus brevis and other related species.
