hey everyone!
im not new to the hobby, just cichlids. never kept them before. just community stuff; guppis, gouramis, barbs, etc...
*** recently moved and completely tore my tanks down ( 40gallon and 10gallon), and am starting over from scratch. I have eco complete cichlid substrate, holy rocks and a big piece of birchwood. I def want colorful cichlids, obviously somewhat small being in a 40, and preferably a couple different species.
my question is, I have no idea where to start for stocking ideas? all these names mean nothing to me. from what I gathered mbunas would be a good choice for my tank, correct? specifically what type should I look for? how many any male to female ratio?
TIA for your help!
