i'm adding a 3rd tank to my collection very soon, either i'm upgrading my 40g to a 60g or starting a new 60g.

i want to keep african cichlids either tangs or malawis
i've researched how to keep both rocks for territories etc.

but i need ideas on what fish list for either a 40 or 60g tank.

thanks for help,

i would like to add my bristlenose to the tank, in profiles it shows that they have a range of hardness they can cope with. the ph of water will be around 8 i think. because i'm adding coral sand etc. not sure no hardness until setup, soft water naturally here.
