Hi all,
I'm new here. After managing to keep a 10G tank running for a year, I've decided to go for a 55G.
I want to go with some cichlids, but need advice...
What should I start with? I want to go out tomorrow to get my first fish..( I do realize that I need to add one at at time..)
How many can I fit in a 55?
Can I mix and match?
I have a suggested list, but I don't know what to start with, or even what they look like.
Does a trio mean three of a kind? I found this list on the internet.
1 trio Protomelas
1 trio Aulonocara
1 trio Copadichromis
1 trio Labidochromis or Cynotilapia
4 Neolamprologus(larger species)
2 Eretmodus or 1 trio Haplochromis
2 Julidochromis(larger species)
1 Synodonits Catfirsh
1 medium sized Plecostomus
Does this sound good?
