New 70Ltr Tropical Set Up

[Far2lively]

This is my recently set up 70litre tank hope you like it people and would like comments and suggestions please.

Do you think the wood is slightly too large???

Here is a link to a video of the fish housed inside

Looking good, by any chance did you get set up from pets at home?

I did indeed was £99.99 including Filter, Heater, Stress Coat, Food and the stand so i couldnt resist seeing as i had a 30litre before and the fish i had in there would have got too big for the tank!!

Do they have the same offer in the store near you??

I wouldn't say the wood is too big, it's a nice peice! Just needs more plants in there

I can see a couple of issues unfortuantely.

I think you have a Firemouth - these get to about 6". Not sure they are ok in a 70L tank

Looks like you have a common plec - that can grow in excess of 12" - quite ofter 24", so is not suitable for the tank

I am unsure what the albino cichlids you have are, but maybe they are Mbuna of some kind??? It is not recommended to house these with anything except other Mbuna - so your gourami and Firemouth could quickly become targets.

I have taken the albino malawi out, as the pet store didn't explain to me that I couldn't house them with any other fish due to there aggression. I plan to rehouse the fish in a larger tank when there all slightly bigger probably to a 150litre or more. At the moment I have 2corydoras, Common Pleco, Golden Nugget Pleco, Firemouth Cichlid, Black Red Tailed Shark, 2paradise fish and a yellow Gourami, they all seem fine at the moment had them in the tank together for a couple weeks now. Will definatly be buying a larger fishtank when the pleco is larger.
