I just moved to Fredericksburg, va and started a tank up. I am looking to stock it up and the local stores seem to be so so on the fish they carry. Mumba Cichlids are what I am doing. I have a 125g tank with sand and some old dead live rock from years ago to help with the PH. I got sand as well. Tons of hiding places and caves. I got lucky and bought a few canister filters on craigslist so I got 3-4 of them running on the tank now. I plan to have about 20 to 22 fish and at max 30. So far I have 8 fish. 2 Crabro, 2 lombardoi, 2 red zebras and 2 yellow Labs. I plan to add 3 more of each fish minus the crabos since I heard crabos(Bumble bees) are not that great. Goal is to have 3 F to 1 m. Once they start to show their sex I will have to start rearranging fish if there is trouble in the tank. I want to add 1-2 more groups of fish to the mix. Do you have any ideas on ones to try? Would like to add some different colors if possible. I want to add them in 3-6 fish groups to prevent the water from crashing.
