Hi there,
I have recently inherited a practically new 130 litre long aquarium and would like to set up a African cichlid tank...my water is very hard and has a pH of 8.2. I realise this tank is a small tank measuring 36" x 14" x 16" high but was thinking it might be suitable for a small group of Pseudotropheus saulosi? I have read on various forums that this might be possible but want all of your expert opinions! I was thinking 1 male and 5 females...I doubt there is the space for 2 males. With regards to aquascaping I was thinking of using lava rock and maybe some anubias and java fern? Also, are there any smallish algae cleaners, either fish or inverts.
Ay help would be great. Thanks
