Hey guys, been thinking about re-stocking my 3' (150L) when it's ready.

I thought there were no other species I'd really be interested in for this sized tank hence the reason I put it up for sale.

Had a few tank kickers but nothing solid yet...Anyhow, there is two species I like that may go together in this sized tank, but need some opinions first.

Leptosoma and Calvis.

I like the Leptosoma Utinta and Black Calvis.

 

Can I stock these 2 species in this tank?

If so, recommended stocking numbers of each please.

 

TIA

 

Oh, I was going to sell the 3' and get a 4x2x2 for discus.

The two will go together fine pete but the cyps would go better in a larger tank as they like lots of swimming room. Probably get away with it though if you get half a dozen and a pair of calvus.

Consider a species tank of paracyprichromis nigripinnis. Rock dwelling cyp like fish that are very attractive

Can we get paracyprichromis nigripinnis here Poncho? They are really stunning but I have yet to see any in Perth.

[Poncho]

Yeah, they are allowable imports so shouldn't be too hard to source some

i had nigripinnis when my tank was all tangs
seen them for sale at Vebas and Aquotix in the past

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Yes Brett, the paracyprichromis nigripinnis look stunning. I'd like to have a go with them.

 

I'll start ringing around next week, or if a store with them sees this, please PM me
