Staring at fish is good for your brain ... calms me down .

So ......

Nice choice on the fish. If I set up another tank I'm going with the African cichlids too.

Can you fit a schooly in it ?:humpty:

make sure to keep an eye on the heater.. cichlids can cook real easy!!

Congrats Stiff Tip. I am sure it looks mint :rotf2:

But just keep this in mind please.
I have a 55 gal that is 48 inches long, With these fish it's how long the tank is NOT how wide.
So lets say I put 15 in my tank, not counting the 2 bottom paddy's
The fish will only grow to 2.1 inches long! and add the other 2 fish and you get the idea. They can get very large , 4-6 inches easy :smash:
Now factor in your going to lose a few,but also factor in you also may have babies...lol
