To Reef Or Not To Reef?

[sjsoto]

Hey Chef! Decided New World Cichlids....

Here Is What I Have In Mind...
Options

1.blue Dempsey And Red Texas Cichlid

2.green Texas And Jack Dempsey

3.red Devil

4.albino Oscar

The Oscar Im Not So Sure For It Is Required To Be Put In A 70gal Atleast.
Although Ill Perform Numerous Water Changes.

If For Some Odd Reason Decide To Go With Piranhas(which I Was Considering), Ill Get Sump For Better Filtration.

Glad to see you've decided to go reef!

50g does not make a good home for cichlids, especially the ones your were contemplating. You would've had a murderous bunch on your hands.lol

if you do go with a lionfish make sure you have a good protein skimmer. saltwater fish are pretty and more active the fresh water fish, you couldn't give me a freshwater fish anymore. i have 2 reef tanks and a commuinty tank in my house, and going bigger with 1 of the reefs
