in my future (aka 10years) when i have my own place i really want an in the wall tank. like a BIG in the wall tank. like a couple thousand gallons. and i want to commit it to very large afc cichlids. i was thinking something like 8x6x4. id love to just talk stock and see what all i could do with it.

what id really love to stock in something like this would be

zaire blue frontosas
bethochromis tricoti
T. polli
cyprichromis (not sure which color morph)
and maybe a large julidochromis.

suggestions?
 
I don't know about stocking a tank that big, but it sure would be cool. If I had the money and time to make and maintain something like that, I'd want a tank like that too. Something that would take up most of a wall. that would be so cool!
 
really?
 
From http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/c_frontosa.php

Fish make up the majority of their diet, Cyprichromis species being their primary target. Cyps spend the day in large schools (numbering in tens of thousands) in the upper water column, but at dusk, they descend to the bottom where they hug the substratum. Fronts, still awake and alert, easily scoop the unsuspecting Cyps up by the mouthful. Because of the ease with which they are able to feast upon the Cyps, frontosa don't have to spend much energy chasing their food, a chase they would certainly lose to the agile Cyps during the day.

Might not be as amplified in the home aquarium but I have read about people mixing the two. The cyps "disappear" little by little.
 
poop. i guess no fronts than. a tretocefalus (cant spell) colony would have to do.
 
Emperor Cichlid's beautiful giant would be sweet thats what i am adding to my 2000gal basement tank..
 
dude if you are doing an inwall several thousand gallon tank you need to think EMPEROR CICHLID the african equivalent to peacock bass.
