156 Gallon RR Tropheus Setup - Need Advice/Suggestions

[Lawsman]

Getting a 156 gal RR aquarium soon. I have the Carib-Sea cichlid substrate at home. Going with Precision Marine Wet/Dry with 2 (two) mag drives. Should have plently of flow.

So, I want to keep a colony of Troph's, I have one adult Dubosi in a 45 with some other Tangs and a Royal Pleco. Peaceful environment for over a year now, with no losses or aggression towards tank mates.


My question is: how do I transfer all existing over to new to be 156gallon and what troph will be best suited for colonization of all fishes on same day to limit aggresion/estavlishing teritories?
ndecieded
The tank will have numerous rock (undecieded at what kind of rock) but i do want to provide numeus "type and some form of boulder(s) to visually seperate colony's as was suggested on this site before.

So, any ideas what I can keep in relative harmony if i buy 15 or more troph's?

I'n new at troph's, but have keep many Malawi mixed tanks with success and salt with fish only and w/o fish, just cora

Thanks

What other fish are you planning on keeping with them?

Adding 15 more Duboisi would be the best thing. But it also depends on what other fish you are currently keeping. You dont want to over stuff the aquarium.

You can add any troph you want.Dub could be your enforcer. The dub will not recognize any troph other than dubs. But I would get at least 25. 15 and you could be setting yourself up for colony collapse. But more dubs would be a great choice. good luck.

your selling these fish?

[newb]

yeah I want to get a colony of something different. Something a little more rare. If I could hold onto these...I would. Kind of sux when you have limited space. no more tanks=these fish got to move for me to get something else.

Right now I have in a 42 Hex the Dubosi -white band, 1-Marlieri and 3- Orange Leleupi and 1 Royal Pleco. I have had them all for over a year now and are all growing out well. All settled in with absolutely no signs of aggression between any of them.

I want to keep it this way, which is why I posted my question

If you can post a pic of your white band guy, I may trade you a lone Maswa Cape Kobogo I have and need to find a home for.

This will then set you up with Randall's Yellow Band Duboisi.
