Hello all,
I am new here, and I am sure from what I read on the forums that I am in the best place for good advice.
So I not new to fishkeeping, but new to African cichlids, and need your help setting up a new tank.
This new tank I am hoping to use for keeping Aulonocaras Peacocks. I did alot of reading about them, and so I know all about overstocking, their mild Aggression, the need to overfilter, ........etc.
HOWEVER, my space is limited so I am having a bespoke tank built to order, and so I have 2 options available to me (for 2 different locations)
Option 1 is a 3.9 feet tank: (3.9' x 17.7" D x 15.7" H) which is (110cm L x 45xm D x 40cm H)
Option 2 is 2.0 feet tank: (2.0' x 21" D x 17.7" H) which is (60cm L x 53cm D x 45cm H)
Now here is my main question: Which of these 2 sized tanks you think I can use to keep Aulonocaras?
Another question is: As you can see my depth on both tanks is on the lowish side 15.7" for the 3.9 foot tank and 17.7" on the 2 foot tank, is this an issue with Aulonocaras?
Thank you very much for any advise you can give
