Suggestions For A Four Foot

[rifty]

I have a space for a 4 foot tank in the shed thinking something different to malawis? so tan tank? what could i keep in a 4 foot ie a shellie type rock and open water? would this be too much? never kept them so need some help!

Also I have a plec tank with some neons which is so boring sorry plec neon keepers! any ideas what would work in respect to a dwarf cichlid pair like kribs?

Shells one end for a shells dweller type you like, rocks the other for Julidochromis or Caudopunctatus(NIIIICE!!!!), and some Cyprichromis in the open column, 4' is a great size for a Tanganyikan tank, as long as you give each type its own space/territory it usually works fine... I am in the pocess of reworking 2x 4' tanks, one at the moment has 3 shell dweller types, 1 rock/shell type and loads of juvenile Cyprichromis... The second tank has just been set back up and will hold a colony of Multifasciatus (keep finding loads of fry), the Caudopunks and Sumbu shell have recently spawned as well so as said 4' is a good size. The behaviour of the Tanganyikan cichlids is very interesting to watch also.... Looking forward to redoing the other tank also....

Be nice to see what yuou come up with, cheers , Sean

1- shellies, rock dweller, cyps
2 - sand sifters , cyps
3 - paracyps , sand sifters
To many choices LOL

Yes you can fit all those in. You could prob squeeze two rck dwellers in depending on what they are. Do you want a community tank or something different?, as a sandsifter, cyp tank would be cool.
