I will soon be getting a 75 gallon and am thinking about what to put in it. I was thinking some Lake Taganyika cichlids like neolaprologus bricardi. I was also thinking about maybe a Senegal bichir or a striped gar. What are your thoughts?
It occurs to me that you might have looked at Neolamprologus bricardi on Seriously Fish (as Neolamprologus pulcher) where it gives the hardness range as 0 to 0 ppm. This is a misprint. No fish from Lake Tanganika can survive in water that soft. FishBase gives its hardness as 9 to 19 dH. Seriously Fish gives the hardness range for other fish in the Neolamprologus genus as 8 to 25 dH.
