I have a 75 gallon tank that I am converting for Lake Tanganyika cichlids.
My plan is for a shell dweller species , julio and cyps. I have 13 pieces of holy rock large enough that 6 would cover the 4ft length . Please advise on set up .
My thought was to place the rocks along the back length of the tank . Leave 20 inches for shells across the front left side with a depth approx 10 inches. The right side will have 20 inches oF open sand with a 10 inch depth . The middle 8 inches would have the rocks the entire depth of the tank.
Questions:
is this an appropriate set up for the species I mentioned?
how high can I stack the rocks without hindering the cyps?
any recommendations will be appreciated
