Another 3ft Tank - what setup?

I've just got myself another 3ft tank... the deal was too good to turn away from lol

So what should I set it up as now???

I've ordered 2 T5 lights for it so that I can get plants but thats pretty much where it ends in terms of planning....

My two current 3fts are a (1) Sailfin Molly planted tank with a pair of kribensis which are busy fending off the sailfins from their eggs and a (2) cave tank with one pair of kribensis which are looking after some fry.

Any suggestions would be great.... looking for something unusual!

 

Dwarf Cichlids? They make brilliant tank mates to many peaceful fish! They breed if the conditions are good, and thanks to a couple of the sponsors on this site, they are becoming easier to get hold of locally!

Dwarf cichlids rock!

Lol I nearly ordered some dwarfs from Dolphin..... think that may be a good option!

One Q Slagter - in terms of keeping them should I get a pair or do they do better in a group of one male 3 females. I've seen some conflicting reports??

 

Depends on the species really...

Most of the ones I've kept do really well in pairs. Including: A cacatuoides, A agassizi, A hongsloi, A sp Steel Blue, A pandurini, A trifasciata, etc...

These are the most common ones available, except the Pandurini. They really do make fantastic additions to any tank.

 

in your opinion which species would you recommend in terms of ease of care and interesting behaviour??

 

Sorry for the late reply dude...

For ease of care I'd suggest A cacatuoides. They are really cool and do very well in community tanks.
