New Malawi Tank - What To Do?!

[akfox18]

Hi everyone, decided to get a new tank. A Juwel Rio 180L - so a bit bigger than my 30L Bio that's sat on the kitchen worktop!

Going to go for Malawi's in this one. local fish shop stocks them and the guy in there seems to know what he's on about and has been very helpful so far.....

Anyone got any advice for tank set up, keeping Malawi's, breeding, number of fish I can keep? I've got a crushed coral substrate and I've gone for slate pieces to make somewhere for them to hide! the local shop has a very impressive Malawi set up so taken ideas from that!

any info/advice would be helpful - only had it set up just over a week so want to get it all right before introducing fish!

i think you need to do the cycling process first to get the ammonia  nitrate ect levels all right before you can add malwis. im looking at changing my tank to malwi fish as well.
