Posted	What fish
13-07-2007 12:32 by acracr	I've always kept coldwater fish but am considering getting a tropical tank. It would be around 180 litres. But I don't know what to go for - I like coldwater fish because they tend to have their own personalities. I'd be looking for something similar in any tropical fish (ie, not stuff like danios, tetras, etc that seem to be very pretty but one is the same as any other)so any ideas for what to go for? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

13-07-2007 15:35 by acracr	I live in South London so I think my water is hard. Must admit, I know nothing about cichlids so looks like some research is on the cards. Thanks for your suggestions.

Also try to make sure you aren't buying hybrids when it comes to get them. I haven't got a vast knowledge on them I must admit, so if you have any questions I doubt I'll be able to answer. Just do plenty of research and you should be fine.
