I'd love to do a cobalt blue zebra fish like the one I linked to.Įdit: Is it true that you have to add all the cichlids at once? I'd think that would be extremely hard on the BB. So, I will definitely get labs and johanni. I read that 12 cichlids is a good amount for a 55g, without being too overstocked (which I need to overstock on purpose to reduce aggression). In a 55 gallon, I'm not sure if I should do 3 groups of 4, or 4 groups of 3. JohannI look like them though so perhaps those will replace themįrom what I'm reading, I should pick 3-4 species and do a ratio of 1:3-4, M:F. I really like them but I'd rather have some variety, so those probably won't be what I got for. I just read the demasonI prefer species-only tanks in large groups. They're so cool to watch and from what I've seen a lot of them can get really personable with their humans! That sounds so awesome! That's one of the reasons I want to start cichlids, is because of their brains and personality. But it seems like another nice option if it would work. One more thing has anyone ever ordered from PetSolutions or LiveAquaria and used the "assorted African cichlid" option? Where they send you a random african cichlid from the lake you choose (I believe that's what they do at least)? I would think this would be detrimental to having a good M:F ratio if you only got one of a bunch of different species. Some more mbuna species I'm going to research: Are the stripes there because of the sex, or is it a different kind? Most of the cobalt blues I see have faded or no stripes. Are they as aggressive as the red zebras? And would you recommend them for a beginner?Īlso, I found this picture of a blue zebra that I really like. that says a lot lol.Īs for the cobalt blue zebra, I did have a question. I haven't found a lot of info on the blue johannI in terms of aggression. So far I now I want yellow labs and blue johanni. I looked a little more at the albino peacock cichlid and have changed my mind about them as well I'd like a nice bright colorful tank and the albinos just don't seem to have much color imo. I've been researching all the species I listed and found about half of them are very aggressive (the kenyI and red zebra, I think the cobalt blue zebra as well).
