Im going to get 4 females as soon as i get the tank cycled. I got some cichlid lake salt and malawi buffer from searchem the guy who sold them to me and also breeds them recomended that i do that. And also wait till it cycles to put the rest of the bio-load in there ( the 4 females). Also added some sponge squeezings in a bag for me to put in the filter to help the cycle. Ill watch the ammonia and the nitrates and nitrites every day real close and do water changes if i gota! i realy like him.
