Hello

I've just returned from working in France for 6 months and i'm thinking of setting up my now empty tank - as looking at it in the living room empty is depressing.

I've always wanted a African Cichlids tank with holey rock etc.

the tank is 3.5ftx2ft2ft. i've got a tetratex 1200 exturnal filter with it

any ideas of stock and numbers plus any tips?

cheers

You can go for a Tanganijkan tank with lots of rockwork & a sandy substrate. N.leleupi, N.brichardi & Julidichromis are a few of the fish found there.........

Even Malawi cichlids are beautiful, but i would stick to 1 species, so not to cross breed.

You can do a google research & you''ll find lots of interesting fish.
