I've got 3 yellow finned malawi cichlids, 3 yellow labs, 3 red zebras, a kenyi cichlid, 2 paratilapia bleekeri (gonna get rid of 'em when they grow), and a blue melanchromis something.

my african cichlid aquarium setup

I've got about 15 African cichlids, all around 2 inches each, and I'm wondering what to do when they grow bigger. They're in a 65-gallon tank, which seems like it'll be really crowded.

Whoa, just scored some insane pieces from Jason Fox - MY Miami, Crazy Fox, and Tangerine Dream. That 3-eyed My Miami is straight fire. Congrats to me, I guess, haha.

Just got my 3 Yellow Labs in the tank and they're doing great, not too fond of the caves yet but loving the tank overall.

Re: my 55-gallon cichlid community

I was thinking 5-6 each of a few species, but that would be 30 fish, seems like a lot.

Re: my 55-gallon cichlid community

I'm not set on just one fish, just using it as a starting point. If cross-breeding's a problem, I'll skip the blues. I jotted down some I like, any suggestions on which to focus on?

Red top ndumbi, yellow fin mbamba, cobalt blue zebra, sunnygold, orange johann, purple lupingu, polit, red zebra ...

Re: my 55-gallon cichlid community

I'm a fan of sunnygold and electric blue cichlids. For those, I think they'd do well with some peaceful tankmates.

Re: my 55-gallon cichlid community

Your tank looks really nice, I'm impressed. I've got a 16 megapixel camera too but my pics never turn out that good, what camera did you use? I'm about to stock my 65 gallon, any suggestions would be great.
