hey guys. just wondering what you guys think i should stock in a extra 55g i have lying around because i just got extra room at home to place it now. i've got a tank with SA cichlids already so would like to raise something else. some pics of your tanks would be great too. Cheers.

any of you guys got experience with german/blue rams or kribs and if they can go together? if they can, what have you put them together with. I'm kinda thinking about a tank with a lot more fish since i've got one with just some larger cichlids. I kinda want to try to stay away from tetras or guppies kinda thing. Thanks guys.

wow some of the videos i've seen are really cool. i was reading up on some of these cichlids and it seems like they need to have quite high ph. lava rock is something that can raise ph right? can i get your suggestions on how to get a brand new mbuna cichlid tank going from start to finish. currently the tank i have has SA cichlids in it. i plan to move them into another tank. do i need to let the tank sit for a while before starting on the new tank? the 55g now has black sand and running rena canister and whisper 60. i look forward to your responses all!!!

when you say that tanganyikans are more expensive then mbuna, how much does it cost for the average fish? are there many places that sell these fish so i can see more in person to decide which kind i'd like to chose from? also, i'm guessing i can't just put any africans together right?

was just wondering if you guys can help me out on this. i've got the 55g tank right now with black sand and running on a rena canister and a HOB filter and with air pump. do i need anything else if i want to start the tank with embuna cichlids. also, i've read up on some of the things on how to keep them and it seems like they say that they need a high ph. are lava rocks the way you guys keep the ph up? also, whoever has this kind of tank, can you share how you keep them healthy ie. water change %
