Tell Me Your Dream Tank?

[Malawakiwhite]

Hi, o.k cycling me 240ltr tanganyika tank deciding what to stock it with and really struggling. Can some experienced aquarists give me some great combos? I love the shellies esp punks but also love the 5 bar mini fronts. I like the colourful cyps and daffodils. I also like the calvus. I know I can't have them all in one tank but can anyone give me some good options??

Nice tank I could run riot with that in the house

As for stockin the 240ltr, Cyps in the open water, a few rocks at one end with the Calvus you like and then either sand sifters on the bottom in the big open space or a shell bed with some shell dwellers, OR rocks both ends , cyps, punks, calvus

Thanks, just looking for some good combos. Yes Kiriyama sounds good. I keep hearing mix reviews about these calvus that they can eat shellies even adults! I obviously wouldn't put a full grown one in with juv shellies but still cautious. Think I'm going for 2 shellies like ornatipinnis if I can get or Kungweensis or multis. 3 Cyps, 2 punks and maybe 1 calvus and I might dare a single N.lamp Tret and hope he behaves as he gets older, I have lots of holey ocean rock nooks and crannies and shells.

The calvus will take forever to grow so i wouldnt worry about it. I have a pair of 4" goldheads and they leave my shellies alone.

Thanks Bullit, that's reassuring to know. So done a bit more research and these cyps should be in larger group so think I'll skip the jumbos and get 6 little ones to start with, 3 shellies 1m and 2f I've read is best. Should I get 3 punks too??? Is this sounding correct? Glad I've not bought any yet on impulse cos I'd have got it wrong 10 times over

yeah you want non jumbo anyway and a 10-12 is a good number. Shellie wise just depends what you go for as some will just pair off. Punks i think will pair off aswell. If you want to breed them then you want 6 and wait till a pair forms and return the rest.
