Info Needed

[drufly]

Ok ppl i need help(please)

I am getting a 240ltr tank in a couple of months and want to put some kind of cichlid in. The trouble is which ones. I have been looking at sites on the web but cant find much info on the fishes i want.

Can anybody help me with this

Aulonocara jacobfreibergi (Mamelela)
Aulonocara stuartgranti (Maleri)
Keyhole cichlids

I have narrowed it down to these 3, the only thing is Which is best suited to be with the community i have in sig.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Dru

Fully stocked? in a 240ltr
I have been told the keyholes are 1 of the most peacefull of the cichlids, just not sure of the others

as i said im not really sure on chiclids as far as im aware if they be able 2 fit a fish in there mouths then the oppotunity 2 eat it is always there obviosly if they get big enough that is lol. as 2 fully stocked im pretty sure ur very close counts the inches of adult size 2 ur fish and its pretty much over the 1ich per gallon guildline im not saying u couldnt have them fish but i still think ur pretty much stocked. i sure some 1 else will give there opinion on this tho

No prob, i know I am over stocked at the min cos I only have a 90ltr, ok over stocked is not the words , hence the upgrade. Really need the new tank asap

i wouldn't put the peacocks in. They do best in higher PH water similar to their natural habitat where they've evolved for years. Plus some can get large enought that I think they might try to nibble smaller fish I've read reports about the keyholes eating smaller tetras once they are big enough.
