Peaceful Cichlids?

yeah I am listening I will get the water filter sand if i can find it. No one seems to be open today. The one I did get a hold of didn't even know what I was talking about. He said all anyone in town has is the concrete wash sand. But since he doesn't know what I am talking about I can't really take him at his word! Hopefully I can find it somewhere!

Have you decided what fish you want to go with? Get something BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!

Heh, it won't be big swami :/

I like to look at a bunch of fish so it will be small to medium sized fish. I am going to see the cost of going with this list:

Synodontis Petricola catfish - a school of them
Lamprologus Multifaciatus- a small school of them
Eretmodis cyanostictus- 2 pairs
Cyprichromis Leptosoma Utina- A large school.

I will also be getting at least one large pleco, possibly a gibbi. which has similar water needs so it is a good match and inexpensive. But I want to research more about these. I may get some of the smaller plecos as well but I am not sure. Mike suggested the Bristlnoses I like those they are pretty cool.

This list is compliments of GoodMike. Much gratitude goes out to him for his assistance

I went in search of the sand with very little luck, so I am likely going to end up ordering something from online. Everyone has mortar sand and concrete mixing sand. The mortar sand was much nicer, but very light and fine so I think it would be hard to clean. No one has water filter sand- that I have found so far and a lot of places were closed. So I am looking at the "Carib Sea Rift Lake Authentic" gravel from Big Als. I could go to Phoenix but that is one expensive trip so I won't go there unless I am already going to be there for other reasons.

Thats where I am at today, hopefully this weekend I can get some things done that will enable me to connect up my filter (such as punching a hole in the pack of my cabinet!)

BOOO!

Lol, im sure youll love what you got, those little tangs sure are cute. Much better than mbuna IMO. Try to get harems instead of schools though.
