Tank Feasibility?

Hi all.
I am getting quite interested in the african cichlid world and am considering getting a large tank for my current stock of fish (tiger barbs, clown loaches, plec, rtbs etc) and using my existing cycled 110 litre juwel tank for a small african cichlid setup.

I have attached a photo here.


I have 2 pieces of bogwood centrally located with a mixture of amazon swords, cabomba and straight vallis in the background and sides. it has a dark sand substrate. is this tank ok to use as a small african cichlid setup as it is or do I need something larger.
your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
many thanks in advance

Hi, I don't know the tank but guessing about 30" long?
I would say to small for Malawi tank but you could have a nice little Tanganyika display in there, not as colourful but behaviour more interesting. . .
exLamprologus multifasciatus - small shell dweller wil peacefully breed and make small colony
Julidochromis dickfeldi - a pair of these will use a stack of rocks at the opppsite end of the tank. . . .
if you wanted a more open look there anre a few of the smaller snd shifters that would use the sapce, a small rockpile in one corner with a couple of shells and you could probaby have exLamprologus caudopuntatus,
you don't want to over stock with Tanganyikan cichlids so best pick a shell dweller and a rock dweller and give them an area each, you will be much rewarded for your efforts
Cheers, Sean

it is 32" long so you were not far off. many thanks for your thoughts and the advice is appreciated.

Meant to say earlier, I love your avatar, the truth is out there lol

Hi I think I have the same tank as you, Juwel Rekord 800.
I'm thinking the exact same in changing from a tropical community to Tanganyika.
Kiriyama I see your in Scotland. I'm in Glasgow what LFS would you recommend?

Cheers
