Advice:
Do fishless cycling. It takes patience but it is worth it especially while doing a cichlid tank as with cichlids several new ones should be introduced at the same time. My tank took a month to cycle. I used ammonia bought at ace hardware. I stocked 8 fish in the first week, 8 fish in the second week and 12 in the third in the following order of least agression. Rusty, electric yellow, red blotch, johanii, red zebra, white zebra, auratus, demonsani
