So I figure I'd just do a starting my tank thread...if this is not in the correct place feel free to move it Niko!
My Plan: To make a Lake Malawi Biotope tank. Any and all suggestions are welcome, I will be posting all questions I have in this thread as I go. The inhabitants I am planing are:
Labidochromis caereulus - 1 male 3 female
Iodotropehues sperengae - 1 male 3 female
Cynotilapia afra - you'll get a nice blue stripey colour morph - 1 male 2 female
Pseudotropheus socolofi albino - 1 male 2 female
Pseudotrophues acei - whichever your prefer purple w yellow fin, 'black' with white fin (Ngara variant) - 1 male 2 female.
With possibly a couple more females to a couple groups of those, or ditch one group and look at 3 or 4 male peacocks.
Along with:3-4 Synodontis
I will be using a sand substrate, with a piece of driftwood I just can't part with and lots of rock work. Possibly adding some Java fern and Moss, maybe some Vals and anubias. Yes I realize the risk of plants in a AC tank.
