I've also got a 35gallon tank, up untill recently it was a community tank but (to cut a long story short) i had to get rid (to various friends) as another friends golden snakehead needed a temporary home (was only 25-30cm at teh time). I was also feeling teh nee dto move to something more challenging and rewarding (and more aggressive!) as the snakehead got me hooked!!!
I would be looking to upgrade to a larger tank in a year or so (inevitabley) so any more ideas? Would be interested to hear from cichlid keepers??
