First tank suggestion

[jjparker78]

Hi guys, I recently bought my first tank
40x16x20 inches or 100x40x50 cm
i have no practical experience but I’ve read a lot about pretty much everything about the hobby and I’ve become really interested about it.
I’d like to know some species of fish (community or not,I can consider a single species tank) that are quite hardy and can live with the hardness of my tap water
Gh=15,5 Kh=16

thanks a lot

Welcome aboard

A Smaller African Cichlid species preferably from lake Malawi.
A smaller Central American Cichlid specie as well.
Non CICHLID
Swordtails or Molly's

I don’t really like swordtails and mollies to be honest,while I’m quite interested in cichlids.
What kind of Central Americans could I keep?

I would recommend the Convict Cichlid for a starter specie.
Pros very hardy
Cons breeds very easily
For the size of your aquarium would just add one particular species.

Convict for sure could thrive in that size tank... and alot of fun to keep.. big personality out of a little cichlid

Convicts!!! They're my absolute favorite fish. They're so personable & fierce, but at a manageable size
