Hi guys! Wow that was some crash you had!! wondered why none of my most regular passwords didnt work
Well, anyhow, it's good to be back!
After being dormant for a while, not just here online, but just maintaining my 150gal Australian Rainbow tank and my 55gal Amazon tank (after the passing of a friend), I have decided that a good way to become enthusiastic about something again is to start something I have not tried before.
I have a spare 55 gallon with a Rena canister filter for up to 75gal filtration, plus I have a few extras to help with the filter, like a hot mag and an undergravel. I have been wanting to try Lake Malawi Cichlids for years, but I am the kind of person that gets all upset if bullies ruin the "zen" of the tank.
I have been reading and think I might try
Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellow Lab)
Aulonocara walteri (Blue Faced Peacock)
or
Pseudotropheus acei (Yellow Tailed Acei)
Have any of you kept them?
Do they mix well with each other?
How many should I start with?
What substrate is best?
Thanks for any advice!
