My 65 gallon tank will soon be empty. I like mbuna, but it is only a 3 ft tank, 2 ft tall, so i thought to do tangs!!! I want to have some shellies with some rock dwellers, with some surface fish, since it is a realy tall tank, i want the fish to use the whole thing! ;) I also might like some synodontus catfish!!! The genus im thinking of now are:

Bottom:
synodontus
lamprologus

Middle/rocks:
julis
calvus
Neolamps

Top:
??????

What species of these do you all like? I really like color, but want to keep agression to a minimum. I know nothing about tangs, so the more info the better. I am in the process of researching them now, so let the ideas flow!!!!!!!:dance:

for the synos, i vote for petricolas...they don't get as large as most of the others--only 3-4 inches.

Get about 12 cyprichromis Utinta for the top and middle. It would make a beautiful tank.

Keep ideas coming!!! I am on a tight budget (14 years old), so any colorful fish that arent as much $$$ would be preferable!!! :D ;) :dance:
