New Tank For Chichlids

[Ginge]

I have a new tank comin this week for £30 so its very cheap im building the stand and hood and will have a fluval 305 in there i would like to know if this tank would be good for chichlids tank dimentions are 45x14x22 and adds up to about 50g i think could somboye tell me if this would be ok and if so reccomend some nice colourful Malawi Mbuna Chiclids and some nice big rock to go with the sand for the decor

Yes 50 gallons is plenty for a Mbuna community. I'd first decide what you like best and then ask if those fish would work. Mbuna are small and aggressive and many will work in a 50 gallon. Another good thing to do is research what kins of Mbuna you can get your hands on.

Should be plenty, im just going into malawi mbunas myself with a 60 gallon, Nice choice, Im sure like me we'll both be able to sit and enjoy watching these fish soon in the near future once the tanks are set up.

Good luck
