80 Gal, Mbuna Journal

[Ace Of Spades]

Lol ok. thanks anyway.

Since my pH from tap water comes out at 7.6 cichlids would be my best bet, but then the nitrate comes out at 60ppm from tap sometimes

Also I know a man that's my driving instructor and has converted his double garage into a fish room... ALL CICHLIDS, so at I guess I could probably get them for cheaper from him maybe...

As he did use to breed them.

All directions are pointing towards cichlids atm.

Well in that tank you could get a nice MBuna set up or go for a nice little oddball community.

Sengal Birchir, Ropefish, JD etc or w/e

Nitrate comes out at about 80 where I am

Great news, I saw him feeding today as I bunged quite a bit of flake into the tank and it was cool to see him feed. He didnt venture too far away from his rock though which isnt suprising but if he saw food he would dash out really quickly and dash back in ...

Im thinking of adding some Syno's when I get a bit of cash, what do y'all think. What are the chances of the babies survival with them?

I just saw a "Moss Wall" on another thread and though it would look AMAZING on the back of my tank, I just wondered is this possible in a mbuna tank. Would they eat it all?.

 

[kj23502]

They would probably pull it apart before it got a good chance

What are the chances of the babies survival with them?

Pretty slim.
