Changing out water in your tank...

[Douglas4701]

The maingano and cobue are pretty... How many of each would you suggest and what with it??? Just as an idea?

What other fish would you suggest for the 46 which may hit the colorful range?

Other than african mbuna?

There are kribs, angels, shell dwellers, lake tanganyika Cichlids and many more.

I would probably do 4-6 of those and Elongatus Chailosi. You may get away with a few yellow labs because they are pretty peaceful for the most part but they get to be a nice size. You can add a bn pleco aswell and then I'd call it stocked then.

I returned the fish to the store. I am cycling the system now. I added bacteria but am going to wait.

I feel like I was really misinformed by the guy at the petsmart.

Sorry for multiple post. I prob should have studied more before buying but I also expect a clerk involves in aquatics to be helpful. Whatever the case this is info I can pass down to people. I'm very excited about prepping my tank though.

Did you return all the fish or some?

All are gone now. I was considering keeping they yellow mbuna.

Youll need to keep an ammonia source in the tank to feed the bacteria in order to cycle. Since you didn't keep any you'll need to do a fishless cycle.

I've got some community fish before I started the bloom. Sorry to not have put that in. I changed out the aquarium and have several cichlid stones now.
