I'm re-entering the hobby and have forgotten much of what I learned when keeping fish about 15 years ago.    Aging sucks.  At any rate, I went to my LFS and inquired about fish to cycle my tank.  I was looking to create a peaceful, colorful, yet active community tank.  In the past I've kept...

I'm going to start cycling a tank this week, and I'm still edging towards a livebearer tank, maybe I'll do Cichlids when my 125 starts to empty out of fish. Anyways, my question was how many can I get away with? The tank dimensions are 48x18x21 and I will be using two Eheim Pro 2 2028's for a...
