Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi guys! I post a fair amount on the other freshwater forums but just started venturing into this one. I've never kept cichlids before (ok I'm lying I've had a single angelfish) but I think I may look to get my feet wet in that regard in the future.
I guess my question is, what are good cichlid starters for a n00b?
I like the SA/CA as opposed to the Africans. My only current options would be something that fits in a 20 gal like maybe a single ram or pair.
I've already picked out a space for a 90+ tank in my place, but I have to finish paying for my MBA first so maybe in the next yearish.
If anyone has suggestions for hardy cichlids in both size tanks for me to read up on in the meantime, it would be much appreciated. I know there are tons of options and this is a generic question, sorry for that. Thanks!
