Hi,
I am relatively new to the hobby and I am thoroughly enjoying myself!
I have a pretty well established 29 gallon tank with about 20 sm - med
size african cichlids of various sorts. I was wondering if other
creatures (any species of crabs, shellfish, eel, etc.) can live in the
same pH or tank (perhaps after adjusting them to it with a drip) as the
cichlids.
Thanks for any and all help!
Dave

PS I have no interest in breeding if that makes any difference I am not
sure.

Thanks again!


As Jim has already stated, your tank appears to be at full capacity. ;-)
Your stocking level would be better off in a nice 75 gallon tank. If you
decide to set up some type of Tanganyikan biotope, Lake Tanganyika has
several species of eels and a couple crabs that may be worth looking into.
I'd start off by doing a bit more research on your fish, ID them and
possibly forestall the aggression problems I see in your near future.
