thank you so much...deffinately answered the questions ive been mulling over for the last couple of days since i started reading up on things.
i was reading some of the past posts on here from the cichlid topics, and read some stories where you just sit and wonder how shops get away with the rubbish they do....one story i was reading, where you have once again given sound advice, was a poor girl who had been told she could have over 40 fish in a 165ltr tank!!!!!!! and mixed with regular tropical fish etc...
these are the exact reasons i want to research every single detail before i even start purchasing anything.... i want to be able to walk into my lfs and say, i want this this and that!!.... not have them try to sway me with other stuff that doesnt work etc...

one more thing ive read which i wanted to make sure of was that i had read you should add all of your fish at the same time to avoid territorial skermishes etc... is this correct, or should you still stagger the population additions?

FYI - once i do get to start setting up, i dont plan on adding any fish for about a month.... i want to cycle the tank fully and make sure all the parameters are correct before anything goes in... the right way to go about it, or overkill do you think?


thanks again
Dorsy
