Hi all, haven't been here in ages and had to get a new password. I fell in love with a Oceanic 32 gallon hex. I think I'm gonna buy it....anyone else have one? Beyond the issue with lack of bottom and surface area. What would you folks this of it for a small (that is small size Cichlids) Cichlid only tank? I plan on using (if they fit) 2 HOB pengiuns with Biowheels and a ebo 100-150 watt heater. I like the other new designs and all but I just can't pony up the money for a large bowfront. I think the hex would look very nice and elegant with 4-6 Cichlids in it, and maybe a pleco. Whaddya think? and Which Cichlids would you suggest?
Thanks!

maybe 1 single angelfish,
a few cories
a school of rummy noses

Maybe a pair of Rams or Apistos, some tetras, and some cories. Most African cichlids need close to a 55g tank.

What type of cichlids were you interested in?

I see, I was looking at my LFS and it seems the growth potential for most if not all cichlids is mistated there. I didn't realize. Maybe I should rethink things.
Thanks!

a group of 4-6 curviceps (ive read they could be kept in groups, correct me if im wrong) may look good in your tank
