I am geeting the fish from my aunt and she has yellow labs with them. I was wondering what other things could go with them. Things like frogs and other cool things. I will get a 55 gallon tank. Also what kind of gravel should I get and how much? Thanks.
In small set ups,55G, or bigger set up too. I prefer Saulosi's to Demasoni's. Because the female is tangerine color, male is black and blue. SO You get three colors rather one. ALso they are relatively mild like e. yellow. Theya re rambunctus like demasoni's. though not killers like them.
One could say that I am a Salusi man.
PS: get a six footer and you will not be sorry. The height of the tank is immaterial. The length is most important. That's why i am quoting in feet rather gallons.

A 55 gallon will do great. You can use crushed coral or play sand. Either one will work fine. If you need the extra buffer then you can go with the crushed coral. I wouldnt put frogs in with them either...the cichlids will just tear them up. Ive seen people put clown loaches in with their cichlids and theyve done fine.
What is play sand? If I want to use cotrolled overstocking then will I need a nice filter like a bio wheel? For extra efficiency should I use a filter made for a bigger tank in there? Also could I get some of those big snails or is that a bad idea. Thanks.
