CICHLIDS GREAT AND SMALL


Many people advise stocking you tanks to as many as can fit. Personally, I am oppsed to making my tank look like the feeder goldfsh tank at the pet store. I believe that with some experimentation, a lot of reading, advice from others, and facing that fact that you might have to return some fish, you can make a relatively peacufull and not overcrowded tank.
