I've been keeping freshwater aquariums for over 20 years, but never cichlids... We currently have 5 tanks set up in our house (55 gal & 30 gal)...
I have another 30 gallon tank I've thought about setting up sometime soon. I'm not sure if I'll do it yet, but I'd love to get yellow labs...
Would that tank work to put yellow labs in? If so how many?
Could I mix them with Rusties or Acei's or any other species (I'm thinking lesser aggressive)? If so, how many?
If not, other than the cookie cutter ideas, does anybody have any ideas for colorful, interesting, and compatable fish that will be very entertaining for us to have for the 30 gal tank?
I'm pretty new to cichlids...I understand larger tanks are recommended, but I have no more room for another 55 gallon tank (2 already set up in our home). I'm reading, reading, reading, reading, and reading some more. I'm starting to understand a little bit here and there about cichlids... but with the names being so long and unfamiliar to me, I feel like a slow learner right now...
