Fish Fanatic
I have a trigon 190 which is approx 44 gallons. I will be beginning cycling next week, but am already thinking ahead to when I eventually stock the tank with Cichlids. Most of the Cichlids in my LFS are just over an inch. Does this mean I could get away with around 40 or so fish?
I understand that with Cichlids it is important to add new stock all at once and not to add new fish to an established aquarium to avoid fighting over territory. Does this mean I should add forty fish all at once (they seem to be priced at around a fiver each!) or should I expect that they might breed (I want them to) and leave room for that.
How many fish would you reccommend I add initially? and how could I get around the problem of adding more Cichlids to an established Aquarium?
I have more questions but I think they would be more appropriate as new posts. Thanks in advance!
