Which Fish Would Suit?

[The young one]

I am doing a restock on my 240l tank and am wanting a large cichlid, I have been looking at severums and like them alot. Would one be ok in my tank with 2 keyhole cichlids and some catfish? I would put in some root like wood and slate. Sand substrate. What other big cichlids would be ok in my tank?

What are the dimensions of the tank?

malawi cichlids

it's 3ft by 30cm

it's 3ft by 30cm

With those dimensions it can't be 240L surely?

I'd go for something like a Blue Acara, T.Elliotti,or a couple of large Angels

it was sold to me as a 240l tank, it's an amazon.

Edit: The length is 3ft, the front to back is 30cm and i don't know what the height is.

Well its not large enough to accomodate a full grown severum Im afraid.

well the height would need to be just under 3ft to make the overall volume anywhere near 240L ?

the height is about 2ft, would that make it a 200l?

Measure it and put the dimensions into the calculator here: http/www.fishforums.net/aquarium-calculator.htm

 

[Davo86]

the height is about 2ft, would that make it a 200l?

36 x 12 x 24 would be 170L
36 x 15 x 24 would be 212L

if i did go for malawi cichlids what type could i get? I like the look of yellow labs but heard they hide quite alot. Are there any very active malawi cichlids?
