i got everything going in my 60 gallon, but my reseent researching has lead me to want to trade in a few fish. i'll be left with the following.

1 brichardi
2 kenya
1 electric blue
1 ass. mbuna
1 buttercuffri
2 texas (i know, i know)
2 venustus

that seem pretty good set-up? would would you guys recommend to change about this set-up. sjut give me your opinions. no matter how much i'd have to change about the tank, just let me hear it.

Hey Dude, You've got too many fish for that size tank. Also the species are incompatible. The Brichardi and Mbunas will wind up being snacks :rofl: The Venustus get big, but are no match for The Butti or Texas Cichlids. Looking into my fishy crystal ball I see disaster in your future. Either keep only the Texas Cichlid pair, only the Butti (and it will still outgrow the tank by itself) or only the Africans. If you go with the Africans and lose the others you should have room to add more Mbunas. Good luck......Scott 8)
