Roks for my new setup

[Mike4242]

Got some really nice river rocks from a stream upstate NY. Can't wait to get it all set up and introduce my cichlids. I will post more pica when it is setup.

IMO, get more rocks, make a nice big stack in there, can never have too many!!!

 

[Cichildlife]

Exactly... I have bout 30 rocks for my setup

 

[Mike4242]

Wow nice setup dude. Africans? Or south Americans?

 

[tsk5035]

Africans. And the limestone rocks give a more desirable pH

[Mike4242]

Yea. Gravel, water, and filter media from a previous tank.

you really should make sure the bacteria can chew through 4 ppm of ammonia and convert it all to nitrate in 24 hours before adding fish

 

[Mike4242]

Thanks for the advice. . We'll see what happens

I agree with the others you will need more rocks due to territorial issues

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

what fish to be swimming?

 

[Mike4242]

Firemouth, convict, turquoise jewel, and pleco. Debating on adding another because they are young yet. But not until I get some more rocks in there

 

[Mike4242]

Convict, firemouth, turquoise jewel, tiger Oscar, 2 tinfoil tetras, 4 goldfish.

New setup. What do you think?

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

stunning well done!! x

 

[T-man02]

I don't think this setup will last long with the stock you have chosen

 

[Bigtay]

Goldfish is cold water,cichlids need heated water. U will have to choose one or the other.

But nice looking tank,u would need sum more rocks, the more the better.I have about 200 pounds of rock in my 60 gallon mbuna tank
