I have just acquired a corner tank that is 30 inches across by 20 inches high by 30 inches on the other sides too. Not sure how many gallons that is?
I have two community tanks and would really like a cichlid tank. Will this tank be large enough? I don't want dwarf cichlids but something slightly bigger, ideally.
The ones that caught my eye are:
Yellow labs
Electric blue Johannii
Rusty Cichlid
Saulosi
pseudotropheus Sp. (Elongatus Mpanga)
Zebra long pelvic
Brichardi
Jewel Cichlid
Pundamilia Nyererei (Python Is.)
Open to any other suggestions.
Possibly with flagtail catfish? Or pictus pim.
Which of these could possibly be kept in a corner tank, which go best together, how many of each would I need to keep the aggression as low as possible?
I'm still working on the tank at the moment as I bought it second hand and the cabinet needs restoring a bit, so it's empty at the moment.
The alternative is to take the fish from my Juwel Rio 180 litre and put them in the corner tank and use the 180 litre as a cichlid tank if it is more suitable. Would rather not do this though, the Rio is the centerpiece of the lounge and is great as a planted community tank.
Thanks very much for any advice.
