Be sure to find out what SG your LFS keeps their BW fish at (usually FW) & cycle your tank at that SG.

will do my friend.
keep me in mind if you see any cool brackish fish :D
 
The African cicghlids do not belong in that tank. It is also severly overstocked. Kribensis have been known to live in low-end BW. The green & yellow chromides are BW cichlids.
 
The only brackish cichlids are the chromides, and only the pink/red stay small enough for your tank.

Here is my brackish encyclopedia of choice: http://homepage.mac.com/nmonks/Projects/brackishfaq.html

written by the same fella as wrote the book, which I also highly recommend!

check out my tank
