One Cichlid . . . 29g tank . . . is that ok?
Hello everyone! This is a wonderful resource for Beginners!
I've admired and wanted an aquarium for so many years. Finally, it is becoming reality!
I've been doing A LOT of research -- and it can be a bit mind-boggling at first.
I have a very simple (I think?) question. Details: 29g tank given to me by neighbor when she went bigger (not yet set up - waiting on Cichlid Substrate)
I want a Cichlid . . . have learned a bit about them from neighbor.
Need to know: Is it ok to have just one fish . . . one Cichlid?
As a beginner especially, I really don't want the stress, for the fish or myself, of wondering if they'll get along, or if I'm going to find injured or dead fish, etc. But . . . can one fish by himself, be happy and content?
Needless to say, my tank will be beautifully *decorated* - with caves, etc. for my Cichlid. I'm leaning toward a blue cobalt (?) - if I have that right, hopefully!! 
Anyway, I am open to and hoping for any input regarding a single fish.
Thank you in advance!
