Starting a Tank

[dkpate]

Sounds good! I was just on liveaquaria.com and they have some info on fish and pictures. Made me fall in love with the Endler's livebearer!

i was thinking of mixing electric blue and yellows and Zebras after visiting that site.but still not sure

the important thing to consider is water conditions and dietary needs... if you go with africans, stick with fish from the same lake... if you go with mbuna, dont mix in fish that require alot of protein in their diet as the mbuna will get bloat... the main thing with south/central american cichlids is aggression... there are so many different types, its really going to be a matter of you picking out a few, then finding compatable tankmates for them... just dont try to mix south/central americans with africans, that will cause problems down the road
