The Big 90 Gallon With Questions For My Cichlids...

[MrMagoo]

I am getting my 90 gallon today and I have some time before I set it up. I will have a dark sand or mix. I have 7 cichlids that will be about 10 inches long each. I know I want the light that has the moon light at night. I just think thats awesome. This is my first huge tank so I want to show it off. I also have a pleco in there but what are somethings that look awesome but wont cost alot to do. I like oddball fish too. What would go good other than catfish?

Could you post pics of the peacock, the green, and two blues so we can id them before giving any suggestions. If you aren't already aware, the mbuna are herbivores and the peacock is a carnivore. The mbuna max out around 5-6", and the others will depend on species. Are you going to an all male tank with just males of multiple species, or are you wanting to have several of each?
