Proposed Stock List Check
By: Zipperpi Date: October 31, 2014, 9:45 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I'm currently spinning up a 75g and finding conflicting info
related to compatibility of the fish on my proposed stock list.
I've been listening to the podcast and figure this might be the
place to get my answers. Great show btw! My list currently
includes A. Cacatuoides, Bolivian Rams, Severum's and pencil
fish for dither. The plants in the tank will be Java Fern
'Windelov' affixed to some rocks and Crispus 'Red' place in the
back corners of the tank. Is my stock list ok? Do Sev's really
munch on any and all plants even if well fed? I'm aware that the
tank will need upgrading as the Sev's fill out.
Best.
Zipperpi

Severums get up to 8 inches, may scare the small ones, but I
don't think they would kill them

That said, would the best order of intro be Sev's last?

I would add Festivum cichlids with Severum and some Acara's,
they are similar size and temperment

Gary,
It's come to my attention that you're some type of mentalist. I
hit the LFS this morning and guess what? There were 2 stunning
Electric Blue Acara that just couldn't be left there! Big hat
tip to you Gary ;D

They are really nice fish. I keep mbunas, but one of my old
neighbors had a 6 foot tank with severums, festivums ans various
acara types. I just wanted to stick with my 55 gal tanks so I
stuck with africans
