I was reading thru profiles last night and I think I have decided on having a species tank. I have been wanting to have a Malawi tank with yellow labs and some species that is blue. Why not Ps. Saulosi? The males are beautifully blue barred and the females a bright yellow. They seem to be highly suggested throughout the threads that I've read. How many should I have? Standard 1:4 m/f ratio? I would like to have as much blue as possible.
So far I have my tank (standard 4 footer)and some rock decorations. I still need to build a stand and I would like to get some cichlid stones.
I want a sand substrate but have yet to decide between a light color or black.
I plan to put in some fake plants just for looks and some air stones. I have two HOB filters which I plan to run with polyfil for mechanical filtration. I have thought about a koralia or maxi-jet for added circulation.
What do you think of this setup? Is there anything I have over looked?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
