Hi, I'am currently setting up a new 30 gallon tank that I'am planning to stock with Cichlids. I currently have a 5 gallon Hex tank that was housing my 10in. Rope/Reed fish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus) that i transfered over to the 30 gallon tank for him to have more room. I have had mixed opinions from four different pet stores saying that it should be ok as long as theres enough hiding places for the Cichlids and the rope fish and some tell me that the Cichlids will kill it.
What kind and how many Cichlids could i stock the tank with that wouldn't kill my Rope fish? I would like to have a small Cichlid community.
My Tank Setup:
Penguin 330 Filter
AquaClear Powerhead 30
Medium size gravel
Driftwood, Fake and some real Floating plants
