I am hoping to set up a 125 gallon Madagascar biotope tank in the near future. I am planning to have Madagascar Rainbows as dithers. I was wondering which cichlids from that region are in the most need of captive breeding efforts. Also, where could I obtain these cichlids? In my area, the only species seen regularly is Paratilapia bleekeri (small spot). Would two pairs work in a 72" x 18" x 24"? Would Paretroplus or "Lamena" work as well? How about Ptychochromis? Would two pairs work? The tank will be set up with fine gravel, tree roots, and rocks and flowerpots forming caves. Some Bolbitus and Anubius will also be tied to a log. Any information that y'all have would be greatly appreciated.
