ok so i made the switch to sand and it look samazing. so i plan on adding 3 cory cats to see how they do. i also have a fleet of guppies and a few goldfish i will most likely be giving to my friend. but my friend wants me to take a cichlid he cannot take care of. he is ok with the fact that he may turn into lunch but if i take the cichlid i could say goodbye to my guppies. so im just asking what peoples opinions are on what i should do. out of the box suggestions welcome

I have a cichlid and so far so good. Pretty fish. another suggestion is rainbow fish. They're super fast and beautiful and don't get as big

Hi I have a well established african rift lake cichlid tank. They are beautiful fish, its like having a salt water setup. But they are anywhere from semi aggressive to aggressive the semi are aggressive to almost all other fresh water fish! And unfortunately the guppies will become cichlid food! I only know because my turtle isn't the only reason I have a guppy breeding tank.
