Just got myself a 240ltr tank and want cichlids

[Peter hallett]

A pair of firemouths or a pair of texas could easily fill up a 240 litre tank on their own. 2 acaras, 2 convicts, 2 texas and 2 firemouth can be quite the bioload and also if you get pairs of firemouth or acara they can get rather crazy (like maniacal) with eggs so be warned. Then dont get me started on convicts, blacks are a colour type as far as i know so they will also be nuts if paired.

As for the driftwood that is just a harmless mould and is common in new tanks, it will disappear soon

I did reply but it went on someone elses comment thay put so nice can you see the comment I returned for all to read

1 flowerhorn is enough for 240 litres. With what you want 400 litres or more is good, even with a single flowerhorn 50% water change is needed
Overstocking is not cool or pleasant for the fish

Flowerhorn are worse they have to be kept in a tank on there own I think. Also the list has big fish once they grow adult size ull be cleaning the tank every day

Stick with a pair of acaras or a pair of firemouths or a pair of convicts and then a small school of filament barbs or similar

Are you crazy!! A male jag gets 45CM long and dovii even bigger. Jags nedled minimum 400 litres and 1.6Metre tanks and dovii 700 litres or more

Erm, no I'm not crazy, it won't need a tank that size for a VERY long time... So you'd buy a 700 litre tank and put a 3 inch Dovii in it right off, would you? If so, then I think you are crazy.

Cichlids and any fish for that matter grow better from the beginning so a dovii in a 700 would have plenty of space and water to grow without stunting.
