Hello everyone !!
I started a community 75 gal heavily planted tank with primarily juvenile rainbows about 3 months ago and I added 2 LF GBR about a month ago and they quickly became one of my favorites. I've never had cichlids before. I'm looking to add a few more apistos like cacatuoides agassizii, orange flash or double reds.
Here's my set up
Rainbows all about 5 months old
5 Boesmani
6 Deep Water Creek
5 Goyder River
3 M. affinis Pagwi Village
5 Bandit Corys
6 Rummy Nose Tetra
3 Peacock Gudeons
2 Angelicus loaches
2 Siamese algae eaters
3 oto
1 Flying fox
1 Rainbow Shark ( about 4in and the bully of the tank)
3 Platies ( very fertile)+ many fry
I originally got the GBRs and Gudeons to keep the platy fry population down. The Gobys do a great job on new fry however they're only about 2in so after about a week the remaining fry are too big. The GBRs pick off a few but don't go "hunting" like the Gobys.
2217 Eheim
36 watt turbo twist UV sterilizer
dirt capped w/ Black Diamond Sand
Thanks
