Cath Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 you are sooo lucky! There are two types of tanks I would love to set up along with my community, one is a cichlid only tank. These fish live in streams and rivers with mostly rocky landscaped, so you would set it up with river sand and rocks stacked up to line the back wall (make sure they are glued together with silicon or something to prevent them falling on your fish. I would look at some of the medium sized cichlids, to put in here. The other tank I'd love to set up would be a catfish only tank. There are piles of different catfish out there and although they don't have the fancy colours of other fish, they are delightful in that they are fun to watch. Get a few herds (6 each) of each species you want - some corydoras, some whiskered cats etc, plant the aquarium heavily and put lots of rocks and caves. This would be a fun tank! Hope this helps Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Cichlids are also from lakes Cath But I agree that getting some would be a good choice, they're a lot more intelligent than most other fish and therefore more entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 oops I've got rivers on the brain having ridden through one this morning on my horse, yes of course LAKES is where they thrive Thanks Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
