Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I recently had a tank given to me by an in law. I believe it is a 36 gallon but im not 100 percent sure. It is a bow front. I used to have a 55 gallon some years ago and recently wanted to get back into having an aquarium. I prefer cichlid fish. Mostly mbuna and peacock cichlids. I've had Oscar's jack Dempsey's and jewel fish before with a few others. The problem im having is im not sure what chemicals to buy anymore to get the water cycling. Its been about 10 to 15 years since I've had fish and my knowledge is rusty on the chemicals and there's things out now that I didnt see all the years before. I know a lot of people will suggest not to put cichlids in a tank that size but it is only to start with. Once I move next year out of my condo I will be getting a larger set up going.
