  • discuss or cichlid tank?

    Since April when I sold all my fish stuff in prep for the move, I have been missing the hobby. So i figure I would setup something in our temporary living area right now until the house is done. Trying to decide between a Discuss setup or a Cichlid setup. Havn't done freshwater in forever, anythougts or recommendations appreciated. Thanks

    Do cichlids for now... and you can switch to discus when the house is done so they won't have to endure the move over? Just an idea.

        You're going to get real busy and stressed at times between the build, work and keeping up with family.

        Been there done that so I understand.

        Go with something simple. I've done barb tanks when life has been crazy and really enjoyed them. They are basically maintenance free fish.

        A good group of Neolamprologus daffodils would be a great cichlids choice.

          Go with cichlids. They are far less work, and are easier to transport when you move. Like aquabee said, you can always switch over when the tank is in its final spot.
