What Size Tank Should I Get

[storm45]

Hi, i have 11 cichlids and i want to get a bigger tank, what size would be ideal? thanks for any input

The biggest you can get. For a more specific answer, you'll need to put in more specific information, like what species of fish you have.

hi, they are african lake malawi cichlids and i am just asking as i have little space, and if the requirement is too big of a tank i will sadly have to sell the fish.

As big a tank as you can possibly get.

240litres? or is that too small

240L would be ok for up 16 or so adult mbuna as long as your filtration is up to the job.
Do you know which malawi cichlids you have as there are other species which have differant requirements.

Thats a good idea I'm sure we should be able to identify some of them at least
