Hi everyone!
I'm Nick I'm 22 from Essex in England.
I'm relatively new to all of this, so please forgive my knowledge and simple questions. I'm here looking to gain some information about cichlids. The Internet doesn't really help much as there are always so many different things constantly contradicting everything.
I currently have a Juwel 180 tank. It's pretty basic, gravel substrate, few plastic plants and a couple bits of bogwood for decor! I have 5 Neon Tetras, 5 leopard print danios, 1 Angel Fish, 1 female Bristlenose Pleco and 1 synodontis petricola.
I want to re home the other fish and have a tank with the synodontis petricola & Pleco with some of the smaller lake Malawi cichlids. I would like to know:
How many many of these cichlids can I house in my tank? I don't want it to be neither crowded nor empty.
What cichlids to choose as a beginner?
What other types of fish are compatible with cichlids? I've been told plecos & certain types of catfish are ok, but which ones?
Temperatures?
I hope you can help!
Thank you.
