    Post Blast from the past

    Greetings.

    I received a 55-gallon tank from my wife for Christmas. I have not kept fish since I was a teenager (many years have gone by). I have always been fascinated by Cichlids and am going to give Mbunas a try. I have questions about the best way to obtain groups of fish (am thinking one male, three females per grouping) and the smartest way to bring them into the tank. I have researched the equipment that I want to get and the type of decorating that I want to do. I would like to run that by you folks, as well and get your ideas and recommendations.

    Suggestions as to where best to post those questions is appreciated.

    Steve Fairbrother
