critter_crazy Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi all, So after much deliberating, I'm thinking I might like to set my 182L tank up as an Lake Malawi African Cichlid tank. What sort of stocking could I fit? I like the idea of Demasoni and Electric Yellows. Is this viable for this size tank or am I dreaming? :lol: I don't know a thing about cichlids so any comments are appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackp Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 what are the tank dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Around 4ft long, 1ft deep and 1.5ft high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 That tank would probably be ok for dems/yellows Just make sure you add at least 12 dems to start off with.. If your ever out my way and you want to come and look at my fish let me know I have plenty of africans that might give you some idea what you can do.

reptilez Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 i had some cichlids in a 180l tank, i personally like african cichlids as they look close to marine fish even though they are not :slfg: i even trickedsom of my friends that my electric yellows were marine fish and they believed me :sml1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfishhead Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 good one reptilez... Yellow and dems are the most common mix. They show each others color nicely. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
