CICHLID MAN'S Hardwater setup.
I'm setting up a new tank, it's a Birthday presest actually which will hopefully be delivered within a week.
I'm hoping to keep malawis, rainbows, mollies, platies, swordtails, gouramis, male bettas, figure eight puffer. And other hardwater fish.
It sounds dodgy but trust me, the end result will look stunning. The tank, a 4 foot aqua-life should be due on friday, so I'll post pics as I go. If anyone has got anything they'd like to ad go 'head.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
