Recommendation of tank setup for nanochromis spp.

[dark_aLLeY]

Hi MFK,

I would like to ask what kind of tank setup is highly recommended for a pair of nanochromis spp. ?

Any experienced keepers care to shed some lights ?

Hello MKFs,

Can anyone kindly advise me how to keep a pair/trio of nannochromis spp. in terms of tank space, their biotope setup and such ??

First off, they're not rift lake cichlids, they're actually west africans, and they're quite easy to keep as well. Their care is pretty much identical to that of the S.A dwarfs with regards to water parameters and all that (although I find a pH of ~7.2 works well with all but the most delicate fish).

Here's a link for more information:

Thanks for the advice and the link.

In term of substrate, which kind should I use to simulate as close to west african biotope?
