EVoyager31 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I am trying to do research into setting up a 55g cichlid tank but finding a lot of conflicting information and I am still unsure what to get in terms of substrate, decor (some kind of rock I imagine), and types of cichlids that can go together in a 55 gallon. Looking for ideas on what kinds of specific cichlids someone has had experience with that are colorful and groupings that will help counteract aggression.

Scapexghost Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Go to 3:43 for the cichlids African cichlids like hard water and high ph so if you don't have that naturally aragonite sand and rocks like texas holey rock will be really helpful. If yoy do, then any sand and rock will be fine. Planting a cichlid tank is difficult but not impossible and well worth it. Plants like val and anubias will work best. Try to maximize line of sight blocks and hides when scaping the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
