Tank Lay Out.

[james nash]

Hi all Does anyone have any ideas on a american cichlid tank layout. I would like ideas about the plants and the rock from central america.





can you please make a tank diagram on where to put the plants and rocks for a pair convicts
and a pair of firemouth cichlids and 3 humbug catfish {it is a 3ft tank}.

I don't think you will get away with all those fish in a 3 foot tank... the convicts will kill or badly hurt the other fish

if i got a bigger tank can you do a diagram on where to start the tank off and where to put the plants and rocks B) B)

How about a 150g tank with about 5o large caves for those two pairs It won't work out in a smaller tank.

 

[james nash]

can it not be done in a 125l tank.

 

[Dwarfs]

I don't use liters but I am fairly sure that a 125l tank is much smaller than a 125g tank.

Yes... 3.78 times smaller.

fishy whizz, drop the convicts unless that's all you want to keep.

My suggestion would be to go with a pair of firemouths, ONE humbug (they're territorial with their own kind), and a good sized school of bigger, tougher tetras like serpaes.
