T-bar Cichlids

[HairyDave]

Hello everybody. This is just a quick question as to ask does anybody keep T-Bar Cichlids (Archocentrus Sajica)? I have been given 4 T-Bar fry and have them in my first 75L tank. I have the temperature at 26c and they seem to be fine with it. I would just like some tips and any advice on keeping these awesome fish! I have also been offered a 4 or 5ft tank with all the trimmings (heater, pump etc) for £100 and was wondering if this is a good price for a second hand tank. Obviously I will have a look at it and make sure it's all gravy but this hobby seems to have grabbed me by both horns and has me completely addicted! The large tank would be put through the fishless cycle for a good 2-3 weeks whilst I decide and talk about what would be the best setup and species for it. There is nothing finer than having a piece of aquatic nature on your side to stare into and forget the days traumas, but you all know this already and I'm just a noob, haha

That tank seems to be pretty well priced, and it should do the trick for you TBar Cichlids. Here is a link that might aide in some information worth knowing.

from what I understand, this species isn't very hard to keep. You can house them with big dithers, and Cichlids with a similar temperament.
