Description:
48x21x12 55 gallon freshwater tank. American Cichlids
Advice:
Start with a bigger tank... It's much easier to control the water quality on a 40+ tank than it is on a smaller tank. In a small tank adding one fish too fast can spike the ammonia and nitrite levels enough to kill the others if you aren't careful...
Fish Kept:
Vieja argentea, Archocentrus octofasciatus (Jack Dempsey), and Crenicichla strigata (Striped Pike Cichlid)
Also: 2 x Platydoras costatus (Striped Raphael Catfish), 1 x Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps (Spotted Sailfin Pleco)
Tank Size:
55 gallons
