I will be getting a 40 gal tank within the next week, and would like keep African Cichlids. Besides thinking these fish are beautiful, my water has a pH of 8.0 (KH and GH are both in the soft range). I am just beginning to research this, so I really couldn't tell you what fish I would like to keep. I do know I am interested in finding some smaller cichlids.
The dilemma is I have a shoal of 6 tiger barbs, ranging from 1.5-2.5" each. I bougth these fish before really knowing their requirements, and they do need to be moved into the new tank (currently housed in a 20 gal).
Can I keep my tiger barbs in with african cichlids?
If I can, can anyone suggest some fish for me that will stay no larger than 5"
Also, does anyone have any good resources for me to start out looking at? I have read through the pinned topic "The Mbuna Aquarium", but I feel I have alot to learn before diving in.
Thanks
EDIT: The dimensions of the tank are 36 inches long 17 inches high and 15 inches wide, and if you want to see a picture of it, click here
