Hi everyone,
yep, my last fish tank i had when i was 15 yrs old, i had a big one ( around 50 gal) and 3 small ones in my tiny room.
I started with guppies, neon tetras and platies, then moved over to piranhas and end up with chiclids. My school friend made me love chiclids, we were taking care of the aquariums with my dad so i had the CC ready all times
I am 35 now, changed 3 countries, married, with almost 2 kids so again i am into taking care of fish and i am checking chichlids.
Those days we used to read chiclid books and chat with aquarium shop owners to get info (no google, 14.4k internet
) so it was hard to take care of the fish, tank and so on. So i hope i can get some help here to start of quickly.
So my questions are:
1- Ideal size for 10-15 chichlids ? I am checking 65 gallon (240 lt) tanks, maybe even bigger to start off.
2- Any suggested brand? Juwel ?
3- Intank or Canister filter? I know EHEIM was the best brand 20 yrs ago, still the best?
4- I still didnt decide on the specific chichlids i would like to buy however i see it will be Africans for their amazing colors, any good source to read which combinations i can make? rules and so on? or video maybe?
i will edit the post more later when i remember stuff, thanks alot in advance, i will be watching videos and reading more on chiclids
