Hi,
I've just got a new 240L tank and I'm wanting to keep some Cichlids. It has an external filter, medium bubble disk gravel substrate and two pieces of bogwood at the moment. I also have 115 small plants on their way to me.
My problem is that I don't really know very much about Cichlids and I'm finding all the information a bit confusing. I want my fish to be as colourful as possible as my one year old little boy loves watching the fish. I have all the test kits so could test the water and give all my readings to help decide which fish would be best to keep if that would help?
Also do I have to keep all Cichlids or can I mix some community fish in there too? I just know somebody who has done this succesfully but everything I've read says you can't.
If anybody would be able to help me set this new tank up I'd be very greatful.
Thanks,
Lauren
