I've only got 2 cyrtocara mooriis and an aulonacara stuartgranti at the moment in a 22L tank while my 170L cycles. Here's a bad picture of one of em. He was freaked out by the camera.

i think im going to give african cichlids a go.
got my eye on some astatotilapia burtoni, and maybe a school of Yellow lab's to start off with.
got the new tank coming in this thursday arvo, so i will be starting on the tank cabinet this weekend, then i think im going to make a sump for it too, i like the idea of having heaps of filtration, plenty of bio media, and a high turnover of filtered water. i would like to keep my heater in there too, i want the least cluttered tank as possible.
i know quite a few people with aquariums around here, but most of them are like those AquaOne full setups u get from the LFS. i think i can save myself a heap of cash by building a lot of the stuff i need myself for next to nothing.
my mate has a fantastic piece of driftwood he found at a local stream, im so jealous.
there are a few LFS here, not many do any fish that u wouldnt find at ANY LFS tho unfortunately. i think i will be ordering my fish from elsewhere, have them posted to me.
see what happens after i get the tank cycled.
I picked up my new tank last night. Its a 8x2x2 foot. I just need to put cabinet doors on the stand and I'm good to go. The barra should be happy enough in there for the next little while, until I get my own house at least and I can build a pond.
Yea sounds really good and about that AquaOne combo thingy im not a big fan of that aswell cause you are limited with the stuff you gonna get and have.. So its really a good idea that you are making it yourself.. I got cichlids at my work and they are breeding, actually feels good to get them all grown up asif its your own kids.. hahaha.
~Theo~ that is the perfect tank for me.. I just wished i got that instead of a 6x2x2 cause now i just wana go bigger and i had a chance to get an 8x2x2 and it would of been cheaper and it woulda had a trickle aswell.. Goodluck with tha Barra.. Im thinkin' of gettin a Barra aswell.. would suit my tank.
Just picked up my tank and brought it into the house, the 5x2x2 is perfect, maybe a bit too deep tho, i measured up a spot for it, but u cant really tell how its going to look until u have the thing IN the house set up.
going to the hardware store tomorow to buy timber to start on the cabinet.
just gotta find a cheap tank i can convert into a sump.
