Okay no problem :) I'll stick with my tanganyika idea, thanks for your help

How about peacocks from Lake Malawi? Just saw a video and they look awesome, what would be my stocking when it comes to that?!

Okay thank you :)

Okay well like I said water isn't the issue as that can be changed, it's really the stocking I was really needing help with, any idea who may know anything about tanganyikas? Point them this way

Okay that was me being stupid I read the wrong one , it's actually 197 mg/l the German degrees does say 12dH though, which still doesn't match up but that's what it says!

Okay so the calcium carbonate is 63 mg/l and degrees German 12dh, anyway as I said the water would be changed accordingly for the fish :)

So any advice over the species I talked about, I'll post the list again: Cyprichromis leptosoma Neolamprologus Brichardi Neolamprologus leleupi Any Juli Any shell dwellers ( sorry for any misspellings) Like I said I don't know how many numbers of each or if they'll get on, my ideal would be...

Near bristol :)

Anyways I feel like we've gone off topic a little bit, I really want to know my stocking options for the tank, like I said water conditions can be sorted and bristlenoses can go.

Okay cheers! I'll match the water conditions anyways so it won't be too much problem, I just really wanted to know stocking, like I said bristlenoses can go if need be

Just used my test kit, GH was 180mg/L And Kh was between 180 mg/L and 240 mg/L ( the colour of the strip was in between them both, leaning more towards 240) I hope those units are correct but that's the numbers

Just checked a map of water hardness around the UK, the area I'm in falls under very hard water ( the highest category) , I know not exactly the number you want but does that help? If not I have a test kit at home I'll do soon.

Ah okay, not actually sure, I was just taking the word of the LFS, he said the water we have is perfect for rift lake cichlids, but if I'm honest I haven't checked, I'll check soon, if need be the plecs can go ( a cousin will take them) my girlfriend will kill me though. In regards to...

Also the bristlenoses I have have been kept in hard water as around here we have hard water so they were even in hard water at the Shop, although I know this isn't best they seem to be doing well they're going on 3 years old now :)

The tank is 100cm long, 40cm in depth and 45 cm in height and the water is hard
