Switching to African Cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My wife went to the LFS with me and spotted a Nyereri male. I bought it for her and now she is geared up to start an African Cichlid tank. I have to buy his harem this week. I have onle kept american cichlids so this African set-up will be totally new for me as well. Good luck with your tank venture. Post some pics when its all done!

Are you gonna add any plants? Put the driftwood back in? No offence, looks kinda plain...and I dont know how bricks will do...if you keep the tank plain then you need to make more caves.:)
