Small African Cichlid Tank

26 March 2016 - 06:54 PM

I bought a secondhand tank on Gumtree today. It measures 90 cm long, 36 cm wide and 46 cm high. I would like to keep some african cichlids in it. Is the tank big enough?

I would like a marine type of scene with very colourful fish swimming around, so what species of fish is recommended that will live peacefully?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)

How Many Discus For My Tank

25 March 2016 - 09:51 PM

Not sure if this is the right section to ask. I would like to know how many Discus can I keep in my tank long term?

My tank measures 1.2 metres long, 50 cm wide and 60 cm high. Approximately 360 litres. I am running 3 canister filters; Aqua One CF1200, Aquis 1050 and CF700. The 3 canisters are filled with bioballs, ceramic noodles and blue sponges. The CF700 returns water to the trickle filter inside the aquarium hood which has 2 heaters, both set at 29 degrees. I also have carbon in the trickle filter.

My current fish:
1 Melon Discus
18 Cardinal Tetras
5 Sterbai Cories
5 Bronze Cories

I have a very thin layer of playsand as the substrate, some driftwood and some artificial plants.

I do about 15-20% daily water changes.

How many more Discus can I add? Ideally, I would like a total of 8 Discus if possible.

Thanks.
