Hi all! Just discovered the site and think it's awesome! Would like to get some advice on setting up an African Cichlid tank. I have a 37 gal. I've recently converted from gravel to sand. I used bricks (tested with vinegar and boiled) to make lots of hidy holes and think I'm ready to start stocking. I have been reading a few stocking ideas. However, I have to admit that I am seriously tempted to just take advantage of the 2/$4 mixed tank Petsmart is running until the end of the month. My main concern is not getting cichlids that will outgrow my tank (since I know it's on the small side) or are incompatible. Also, I've read overstocking can help with aggression, but I don't want to crowd them too much. Any suggestions/tips/opinions you guys could throw my way on the setup would be really appreciated!
