Channel cats don't make good mates for most cichlids.

I have driftwood hanging from aquarium top like under water roots and sand bottom...much like discus and earth eaters setup...but I am going to stock malawi peacocks and haps.

that sounds cool, y friend did that sort of brackish looking setup. i think im gonna go with grey/black sand, the wood roots, and plenty of caves.

Here's my 300 gallon community. Mostly cichlids and loricariids. Build thread in my sig. Channel cat might not be the best idea with cichlids though

2 different tanks,i like wood,branches,or the plastic realistic looking decorations.channel cat will need brackish later,get big don't they?

Channels do get big (world record is 58 lbs.), but they do not need or want brackish water.

My tank so far...It is tea colored due to the driftwoods; hope to clear in a couple of month. Center pile of stone/root is to hold down the centerpiece until it sink. The back ground is by design by nature. Can't see it in the picture but I have a few haps and peacocks(malawi) in there. Will add more stock soon(I hope)
