Changed my mind....going for mixed Lake Malawi Cichlids.

I presume they are easier to keep than Discus?

The aquarium is a Juwel Vision 260 (260 UK Litres).

A few newbie questions if that is OK.

1: I medium sized Pebble substrate in the aquarium, will this suffice?
2: I have 5 medium sized pieces of bog wood in the aquarium, is this OK?
3: I have 8 - 10 small - medium rocks in the aquarium. I plan to add more.
Will rocms help "harden" the water?
4: What is the ideal temparature?
5: What is the ideal PH value?
6: Should I add a fast water moving second powerhead to the aquarium?
Perhaps a Fluval 4 internal?
7: I am currently cycling the tank with 4 mollies. I used the same mollies
to cycle my last 100 litre tank, this bunch are extrmely hardy.
8: What is the best slection of cichlids to start with?
9: How many cichlids will I put in to start with?
10: When should I put in the first batch?



Thanks to anyone helping out!!!


Regards,

Gary.
