My Fish Wish List - fish I'm considering for my 90g Tank tank

[Complexity]

Since I'm just learning about Tang cichlids, I wanted to first pass my ideas by those of you with more experience before I actually set out to get various fish. So this is my wish list of fish. Please tell me if any of these fish would be a good or poor choice for my tank.

I'm also using this thread to help me keep track of the fish I run across and would like to consider for my tank. Too many new fish for me to remember them all so this will help me keep track of them.

So far, in the tank I have: Paracyprichromis nigripinnis

I plan to also add: non-jumbo Cyprichromis

My Fish Wish List

1. Enantiopus sp. "Kilesa"

These are incredibly beautiful! They get to 6" in size. I don't know much else about them yet.

2. Julidochromis dickfeldi

I love the blue coloring and the more solid lines on this fish! Nice size, too. I've been told I should only consider 1 pair of julis. Any chance of more?

3. Synodontis petricola "Dwarf"

I have wanted these for years. Would they completely destroy any chance for fry in the tank?

4. Shell Dwellers - not sure which ones yet.

i wouldnt mix the cyps and paracyps,but thats just me.kilesa can be hard to get sometimes,and theyre high dollar.julies will eat any fry in this tank,other than their own.if the julies breed,they might make trouble for the enantiopus.i,ve never kept the 2 together.i grow out julies with adult cyps sometimes,no problems.good luck

Your list looks good, and if you have enough places for the fry to hide you shouldn't have any major issues with the Synos. You won't get as many, but you should get some. Did you want real petricola or the "dwarf" petricola?

As jughead said, I deffinately wouldn't mix the paracyps and the cyps..that may lead to trouble down the road..

[Complexity]

Sorry, I should have specified. I want Dwarf Synos. I should have plenty of places for the fry to hide in the rocks, but not the open areas. I don't necessarily want to breed the fish, but I would enjoy allowing nature take its course.

What problems could I have mixing paras and cyps?

[Complexity]

I also added to the list that I want shell dwellers. I haven't decided on which ones yet.

[Zulaab]

If you like shell dwellers there is one I think you would like really well.
Google Sunspot Brevis... I think you would like these.. there are several others out there, but if it wasnt because I already have an occie group this would be the other I would look at getting.

[Complexity]

I've seen pictures of them! Tim had some really nice ones, too. Can I have more than one kind in the same tank?

[Fire_chair]

Only if you have a large tank.

[Complexity]

Does a 90g qualify as a large tank?

[Fire_chair]

No. I have 6 Specious in a 75, same foot print as a 90, and the dominant male had claimed 80% of it as his.

No chance for a tropheus colony huh?
