You could do multis or brevis, littlemousling could fill you in with more detail. I prefer aquaclear filters and you can just do a fishless cycle with added ammonia or cycle with a school of zebra danios. If you want to do a really fast cycle you could use bio-spira but it is expensive and complicated, what would you prefer?

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	Shelldwellers are indeed wonderful for small tanks, but you might want to check your tap water's pH and GH. If you have quite soft water, there's another lovely group of small cichlids you might like, the Apistogramma genus. There's a lot of information on them at http://www.thekrib.com. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
