Re: request for stocking assistance
I've had experience with both tanganyikans and malawis in six foot setups, trying to achieve that natuflake look. I was quite particular about the details, even going as far as creating my own custom sand mix - not just your average crushed coflake. The choice of rocks was also crucial, I wanted ...

Re: finding the best aquatic shops in surrey
Mike Bonnick in West Wickham - not too far from you, I think. He's got an impressive setup - 50 tanks of Africans, which is hard to find in any UK shop. I came across his ad on Aquarist Classifieds and thought it might be worth checking out. There's also a South East Facebook group you might find ...

Re: exploring tanganyika cichlids
I've had malawis for ages, and I've recently started keeping Tangys for a few months now. To be honest, I'm finding them pretty similar to care for - as long as you keep their water clean and feed them good quality food, they seem to thrive.
