Rehctub87 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Gday all I picked up a 6x2 with a few fish a couple of months ago with plans of turning it into a nice mixed African display tank... Now I'm fairly new to fish keeping but thanks to the guys at age of aquariums (free plug there lol) for putting me onto this website, Ive been doing heaps of reading. Now I'm here to ask a few questions about some of the stuff I've read... Number one would be sumps... What are they for in the first place? What are the pros and cons of running a sump? Is it cost effective? All that sort of info. And number two is growing jeuvies out... Is there anything I should be doing to speed the process up as much as I can? What's the best mix of foods for growth and colour? Anything else you can help with to get the lil guys growing Any other tips or anything else i should know is greatly appreciated. Stock list of the tank: 1x tropheus red morilo 1x ob lab trewavasae 2x maingano 2x venustus 2x tangerine peacock 2x flametail ngara 4x humpheads 4x convicts - I know I shouldn't mix with the africans but I really wanted them in the tank and have been doing real well too Plenty more fish still to come too Thanks all...

green_muffin Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 do you have another holding ground available? cause i think there will be issues with your stock list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_muffin Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 im by no means an expert fish keeper but i would also recommend using egg crates, especially if you plan on adding more rocks...plus i personally dont want to scratch the glass... get some egg crates and use some sand as substrate would be my preference.
