30g Cube setup

[RedOne]

So I've finally got myself a tank! It's 600x450x450mm and I'm running it with an Eheim canister filter. I want this tank mainly for Syno Lucipinnis so I was thinking of 3 or could I stretch it to 5 in there? I would also like some mid level fish too but I don't know what. Any suggestions?

Here is the setup so far, I will be leaving the tank to cycle for a while. Empty tank:



and then setup (sort of)I'm waiting for the round fittings at the back so the pipes are temporary and the water will be filled higher up obviously.



Any suggestions welcome

I've rearranged the rocks now so there are loads more caves and it looks much better! Any suggestions on mid level fish for my tank size?

than size tank should hold up to 43" worth of fish in total max.

so therefore you could have 5 Lucipinnis & 5 cyprichromis sp, or the lucipinnis & 8 neolamprogus similis

Did the OP's dimensions throw you a little, Richard? It is a 60x45x45cm tank, ~121 litres. 43" of fish might be a little sardine-like. ;)

Must admit that when I saw this thread posted, I was wondering if it was suitable for any Rift Valley synos long term, at a push I thought perhaps a singleton or breeding pair of Phyllonemus spp. or Lophiobagrus spp. might just about work in a 60x45cm footprint.

Yeah it's 60cmx45cmx45cm

So are you saying it would be too small for the lucipinnis?

I want a group of cats similar to those or even pictus cats. Any suggestions?

Anyone confirm on the Lucipinnis?

I think I might got with Apistograma or Rams for mid level

I think you could go with a few lucipinnis in this tank with a number of river rocks for them to swim about in...but not with Apistograma or Rams

Yeah I will probably get 3 Luci's to begin with and then some small schooling fish. I've already re-arranged the rocks so there are loads more caves. I will probably get rid of the wood in favour of more rocks
