I received a FLUVAL OSAKA 155 Bent Glass Aquarium (41 US gal) for Christmas. It measures 24" wide x 24" tall x 18" deep and it came with a Flval 205 Canister Filter, 150 W heater, and a suspended lighting system.
I have a 55 gal. community tank made up of 6 angel fish, 7 black skirt tetras, 4 cory cats & 2 gold algae eaters.
I would like to make the new tank a cichlid tank and I like the looks of the Ps. Saulosi but I'm not sure if they would work in this size of tank. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am looking for "color".
If Saulosi's won't work, please give me alternatives. I do like the looks of Yellow Tail Acie, Demasoni & Kingsizei. I will most likely end up ordering most online as our lfs has limited stock.
Since I am planning on stocking some type of cichlids I was planning on buying from Dr Fosters & Smith some Eco-Complete African Cichlid Substrate. Probably the gravel not the sand. Does that sound like a good option? I will also be putting in some rocks. Should I buy a specific kind (where?) or can I take some from our rock pile?
Thank you for any and all help. I just want to do this right the first time!
