50 gallon too small?

[Jennifer]

Hi! I have a 50 gallon tank, is it too small to make a Tanganyika tank out of it?

A 50 gallon tank is ok for a Tanganyika tank as long as you choose smaller species for it.

Great! Any suggestions? Should I go for several really small ones, or pick just a few medium sized?

Well i am personally very found of Julidochromis species (http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/universal-viewid298.html). Other options include shell dwellers, princess of Burundi and leptosoma species. Leptosoma species can however be a little harder to care for.
