Hello, I'm a new member with a few questions:
I am setting up a new tank, approximately 90 gallons, with a footprint of 36" x 18". The bottom will have small diameter gravel, with plenty of rocks and driftwood, some plastic plants as well. I have plans to stock the tank initially with some Angelfish, one day months from now perhaps discus. I know those fish spend most of their time in the middle and top levels of the water column, so I really wanted to get 2 species of interesting dwarf cichlids for this tank. I was wondering which species could co-habitate this tank, maybe setting up caves at opposite ends of the tank. Some of the species that are available in my part of the world (central USA) include Kribensis, Rams, and Caucatoides. Also, many tanganyikan species, although I don't know if they would be appropriate. My pH will be approximately 7.2. I plan to have the temperature aornd 78 degrees F. Can I safely raise 2 species? Or should I go for 1 species but a larger colony?
