So this past week I purchased a 29 gallon to go underneath my other 29 gallon. A friend of mine stopped by the house as I was rinsing some sand to put in the tank and asked if I wanted his tank (75 gallon). Needless to say, I now have 2 new additions, over 100 gallons! Hmmm... what should I do with all this extra space? Any suggestions? (keep in mind I have quite a few African Cichlids (mostly peacocks/haps)).

A colony of small frontosa! When they start growing, you will have a reason to buy that 200 gallon plus tank that you have always wanted! Throw in some julidochromis, cyprichromis, and calvus/compressiceps and it will be awesome! The group of Fulu's that Tina has would also be pretty impressive!

I just googled all of those and I have to admit that they're pretty cool! I REALLY like the calvus/compressiceps. I'm not really sure why but I don't really like the Fronts (I know, bad words)...  They're really weird looking. LOL Do they have a personality? I've always wanted an Oscar but they're kindof big and scary too. Plus I'm not really sure I could feed them goldfish..."weak stomach". |

You probably don't like the fronts because it looks like someone hit them in the head! That's why I don't like most of them. The humphead on the mobas isn't bad so I like them ok. There are some varieties the hump is touching their lip!!!

Yea... I think that's probably it! The hump is a lil creepy (no offense to anyone that loves them).

So I really like the compressiceps and calvus. But it looks like they are pretty small. Any suggestions for larger Tangs to go with these?
