Last year at the end of the school year, I had a heater malfunction and lost my 100 tank with OB Blueberry Zebras that I had been keeping and breeding for years. We tore the tank completely down and it has been sitting empty. I'm toying with the idea of a Tanganyikan set-up this time around, as I love the N. brichardi and like the concept of a community cichlid tank.
However I'm also not a fan of canister filters. Generally I use UGF in my large cichlids tanks. From what I've seen however, most recommendations on the Tanganyikan's recommend a sand substrate which won't work with the UGF.
If I were to go this route, what sand do you recommend, how much and what filter(s) would I need for a community system?
Also, what fish would do be compatable with the N. brichardi?
Also, can I include some of the upside down catfish and what species do you all recommend?
TIA
