    Thinking of getting a bigger tank and we've seen one a corner one but it's got rock and chilids in it but I'm unsure because atm we have a aqua one 600 and we have Molly's,swordtails,tetras,cory dorys,minnows, plecs,Platys and 2 little frogs. I don't think chillids can go with any if them :-( don't really want to be running two tanks unsure what to do.

    Could check with any local petshops if they would take in the cichlids.The plus side to this is that you get a completely cycled filter with the tank unless it's a Malawi tank in which case either your fish will die because of the tanks different parameters or the bacteria will die because of the new parameters.

    @Sabria13,

    Cichlids and general tropicals are not a good mix.
    If you want the tank, but not the fish, maybe see if your nearest fish shop will take them off you?
