[Killietalk] 100 gallon question



    A couple of months ago I bought eleven 2" Blue Gularis split fairly 
evenly between males and females.  I put them in a 100 gallon tank that also 
had several lonely hearts of different species.  The fully grown epy dageti 
were the first to go, protruding head first from the mouth of the biggest 
and baddest Gularis.  Well this morning I am finally down to only Mr. Bad 
himself.  Who does not deserve a 100 tank.  And I thought it was going to be 
such an awesome display.  So he is moving out, maybe to the floor, 
kidding, kidding.
    So what am I to do with the 100 gallon tank?  I have the following fish 
in decent numbers:

Aphyosemion australe orange
Aphyosemion australe chocolate - strain #5
Fundulopanchax spoorenbergi
Epiplatys dageti monroviae
Aphyosemion splendopleure  Tiko Green
Chromaphyosemion poliaki Mussaka CI 2002 FO
Fundulopanchax gardneri  nigerianum Misage
Pachypanchax sakaramyi Joffreville LM94

     The spoorenbergi, Misaje and sakaramyi are all fully robust fish and I 
think they would do well as a species only tank.  All three give me babies 
in a natural set up, and would probably self proliferate as well as throwing 
off extras for the hobby.  Already have the Misaje in a 10, a 29, and a 55 
gallon, so I will pass on those.
     The poliaki just are not pretty enough to warrant the mansion.
     The chocolate strain is quite pretty, but I wonder what a tankful would 
look like.  The orange australe are quite nice, and I was thinking they 
could do well with the Tiko Greens, and maybe the dageti.
     But a big tankful of the spoorenbergi or sakaramyi would be awesome. 
Both species are always up front and center begging for food.
     Any suggestions or votes?
