Hi,
I hope this is the right forum. I have a 63 gallon tank,which is currently a community tank. My intention is too change it over to Cichlids. I wish to keep my 2 Bristle Nose Catfish approx 4 inches long (breeding pair) What I would like to add is, 5 Electric Yellows and 5 pseudotropheus acei. The ratio will be 1 male to 4 female of each fish. The tank will be cycled as I will be keeping all my filter media,swimming pool filter sand,rocks and Java Fern in the tank and hopefully all water parameters will be within reason.
If this is the way to go, could I add all the fish or would it be better to add say the Electric yellows first,the the other after.
Reason for asking is that the fish will mailed to me and by buying all in one go I can save a fair amount on postage.
My original intention was just to stock Electric Yellows,but,the lady of the house likes the blue ones.
I am totally new to keeping cichlids,so I am still researching,hence the questions.
Many thanks and Hi from Australia.
