55ga.?????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
african cichlids have amazing colors, you could easy do 8 or more in that tank. the only problem is they need higher ph and stuff. But if u dont mind making sure they're ph and stuff is in range then youve got yourself an impressive tank, i love my africans.
 
I am about to set up a 55g
I am looking for pike top minnoiws as a base species but since they are not showing up, mouth almighties either, I am considering pikeheads. If I can't get those I will try for orangespotted sunnies and go from there.
 
go with 2 pair of convicts one black pair and one pink pair, very easy to take care of.
 
Firemouths,Severums,Rainbow Cichlids,Jewel Cichlids,good start right there.Firemouths are $1.39 out here at Petco.So are Jewels.I guess Petco is good for somthing else besides not knowing anything about fish,especially removal of the dead!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
for african cichlids use crushed coral for gravel. will raise pH up to 8+
