I will keep everyone posted on everything involving this tank. All Is running smooth and has been since middle of January.

o and welcome to the forums btw :D hope we can help ya out a ton :D

Def looks very nice! Maybe looks like a 55g tank? Any issues with setup or is everything running smooth?

My Africans (Lake Malawi's) will get right in front of my Marineland 900 and swim really fast then get out and back in lol. They def love it :fish1:

Just wanted to get some different opinions on whether or not African(Lake Malawi) Cichlids like current (bubble wands). I was looking at lining the back glass of my 55g tank with some Bubble Wands ...... good idea or no?? Everything I have read/seen so far says that "most" Lake Malawi's enjoy...

Ok cool - I will try and keep you updated on how it goes in my tank. I really like live plants so hopefully it will work out. Any advice on plant types?

I have heard this and read it in my research, but I have never seen a reason. Why did you have to take them out? Also thanks for the quick reply!

I have my 55g tank very close to the end of the fishless cycle and was wanting to get some advice/direction on live plants and rocks. The tank will house 5 - Yellow Labs, 5 - Cobalt Blue Zebras, 5 - Red Zebras, and 1 - Albino Bristlenose Pleco. I have been advised by several guys that have had...

You are correct sir I surely did not see that.

http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_55g.php I will warn you that the build I chose, according to aqadvisor.com was very overstocked. I had to change my stock list up a lot.

What would you suggest as my centerpiece fish river?

There is an updated list if you saw the original :) all I did was edit it.

I could be wrong but that seems overstocked :-(

So you're running a 29G cube? What is your livestock list?

My angel plus active sponge filter will be waiting on me when I get home today. Cant wait to set it up. Everything I read says these babys will cut your fishless cycles in half time wise. I will let you know when I get home if it is there. I get home around 4 cst.

Ok I updated the list. Seem better?

Try aqadvice.com it os really good for stocking info and is easy to use.

Everything I read says that the bottom dwellers I chose are non-territorial and will get along fine. Also why do you say the frogs will be eaten?? Haven't read of any of the listed fish being a danger to the frogs.

My *UPDATED* proposed stock list: 10 - Dwarf Gourami 5 - Albino Cory 5 - Black Kuhlii 1 - Albino Bristlenose Plecos 2 - African Dwarf Frogs 5 - Nerite Snails Suggestions or comments??? The tank is a 55 gallon and will be planted.

Delete please

"They are capable of killing tank mates much larger than themselves with their relentless picking and nipping. Also, their small size can cause them to be eaten by larger fish. If you're going to keep dwarves, plan to provide them with their very own tank. There are a few tank mates that can...

I was just thinking the same thing today although my stock list is a little different.

Here is my stock list: 4 - Redbreast Acara 4 - Gymno's 2 - Blue Acara 6 - Emperor Tetra 2 - Albino Bristlenose Plecos Any ideas on what invertabres would work best?
