So, my tank has cycled for about a month. Just this past weekend I finished up the decor and stocking. I placed plastic egg-crate under the sand, and went and found lots of large natural stone.
Ever make a mistake stocking? In my stocking indecision, I ended up making the wrong decision: I bought neon tetras and black mollies. As it turns out, when viewing the tank in my classroom, the fish could barely be seen!
So, I Called up my LFS, and they were willing to take my tetras and mollies in trade for some lake Malawi cichlids.
So, now I have 8 1-2" cichlids. I am sticking with the general color scheme of blue and yellow, favoring the electric blue coloration.
First: Anyone have any pics of what my current fish might look like matured?
Second: Anyone have any recommendations of specific species that would make good tankmates that are electric blue or deep blue in color? Also, any good bottom feeders?
I've heard that the E.b. jack dempsy is nice, would this be an option?
Lastly, the pics!
