hi everyone, i live in the bay of plenty and currently have a small 120 litre community tank and a 4 foot american chiclid setup both of which i want to get rid of to start an african tank, i am looking forward to asking questions and sourcing fish for my new venture posting.php?mode=post&f=19#

welcome, you have great taste in fish & you won't regret setting up an african tank as long as it's done well.

Hi and welcome, pleny of info on keeping africans in the cichlid section and plenty of us keeping them too

thanks mate am quite excited, i thought i would use coral sands and live rock to alter ph as the bore water i am on can be as acidic as 6.4, also do you know of anyone interested in large american chiclids eg severums clown knife geophagus jack dempsey red parrot convict plecos.

i am very new to africans but think i will try fish from the mbuna group

Welcome aboard :nilly:

Good luck with your African tank, I just finished setting mine up. Heaps of help in here i just used the search function, it works quite well i usually did a general search and then you can search again within the results to narrow it down
