gettin them, fo sho

I don't frequent stores like many others on the box, but I would recommend getting P. saulosi over getting P. demasoni because of the relavitve aggression. You will most likely have trouble keeping less than 10 demasoni in a 65 because of conspecific aggression.

If not available, I'm sure you could ask Fish Gallery or Fish Ranch to order you some. Both have ordered things for me in the past.

fish r us on hwy 242 almost always has salousi.

Good to know!

The tank is a 65g tall. How many yellow labs and Salousi can i put in there? I'm only putting 2 or 3 good sized pieces of rock in with them.

IMO, it depends on filtration and your planned maintenance schedule.

imo, if you have a minimum of an eheim 2217 canister, and a good sized hob and do a weekly wc, and keep the filters clean, i dont see a probelem with 7-8 yellow labs and 7-8 p. saulosi

Felt tends to work well for a background and is relatively cheap.

im running 2 aquaclear 110's on it and i do daily 50% water changes on all my tanks. I'm a water change Nazi. i was thinking about 10 of each fish...would that be too many?

[TaTeR ToT]

i personally wouldnt do 50% daily.
i would do maybe $15% daily.
anywho, your filtration seems ok for 10 of each, but you also have to consider space.
i would say 10 of each would be ok for a while in a 65g tall.
but i dont know about long term.

i use felt backgrounds on all of my tanks.

[cichlid1409]

Dang, that is EXACTLY what i was looking for. I didnt know somebody else already had that idea. Now i have to rethink my decor. What if i did a black background with PFS and holey rock? Would that look good with the color scheme i wanted to do?

I'm not sure...... but i think someone has done that before too.
