First off i have researched a lot and i just want to ask a bunch of questions
and yes i'm quite the ''noob'' when it comes to cichlids so all tips and advice are welcome, but i have had fish for couple of years just not cichlids
thinking of buying JUWEL® Aquarium | Vision 180 UK black is this a fine tank?
i calculated that i should get about 20 cichlids (medium sized to small) to reduce aggression?
if i dont want them to breed(i would just have this 1 tank) what do i do ? i still want both female and males..
can i just use normal sand which can be found outside of my house? or is crushed coral way better ?
can i use any rock i would see outside ? only 1 petstore where i live and its VERY limited
i still want pretty big cichlids would you suggest some for a community tank ?
can you suggest good fish that could be together ?
how do i maintain ph 8.5 and how do i get it up ?
can a common pleco be with them i heard its ok ?
can i use a normal filtration system (the one which comes with the tank, bioflow 3.0)
and can i use normal lighting? (the one which comes with the tank)
i really want a beautiful tank with sand substrate and bunch of rocks and hiding places , i also want plants but are fake ones not better when it comes to cichlids ?
also when i see videos of tanks with cichlids in them i see sometimes double layered sand ? whats up with that ?
all help is great !
