I know this has already been talked about before, but I couldnt find a real definite answer for my question.
My setup consists of a 90 gallon aquarium, 40 breeder for a sump, 1300 GPH Closed loop system for added water flow behind rocks.
I have never had cichlids. I want to give them a try as they are very active,popular and colorful... I am getting mixed info from the stores, online, etc.
Basically I want a tank full of color, and activity. I dont want them to get very large.
What I need to know.
Type of cichlid to start with with.
What other species will get along with what. (my options)
Any bottom feeders that will survive or are a good addition?
I hear the Mbuna Species is what to start with. I was thinking some yellow labs, Cobalt Blue??
Any help would be great. There are so many Cichlids to choose form I dont where to start.
Here is my current setup. Tank
Filtration.
