Thank you for your time and please help.

You may want to do some more research, but i think those Cichlids need hard, alkaline water with a high pH. If they're like other Cichlids, they can be demanding when it comes to water parameters...
There are all sorts of cichlids, but make sure you get the ones that require the same conditions. Some are Mbuna, some are Tanganikya, etc., and they all have different requirements.

Welcome to our forum. As you probably already know, the lakes where African Cichlids originate have widely differing environments. It's important to be sure you are providing the correct environm...
Maybe you should remove the female to keep her from getting killed. If you want to raise cichlids, you will need more aquariums. I had the same problem with angelfish and wound up visiting yard sales ...
The Kribs and the Rams are all Cichlids from different parts of the world. They're not all comfortable in the same aquatic environment, and Cichlids in general tend to be territorial and aggressi...
I just found this too, it was pretty interesting! Sounds like your cichlids will do GREAT in your water!

One of the most important aspects of cichlid care is maintaining the pH level....
If there is a bit of confusion about the requirements of Cichlids, it's because there are so many varieties. South American Cichlids like angelfish are native to tropical streams, and many of the...

Usually fish don't get agressive until they are juvies or mating.
What kind of cichlids were you planning on getting?...
...tetras & the like would be your best bet.
What you have described are not compatible with african cichlids..which is what a blue dolphin is.
Sooo..adding a blue dolphin ( I had one) to ...
...ng it. Just feeding the fish will too. However, soft water is usually not a problem unless you have African Cichlids. They do make an additive specifically for those fish, and it will probably work in...
I have heard cichlids to be mean fish at times but I'm not to sure about why.
So last night's dream:
I had a bunch of tiny cichlids, but they were colored like they were full grown, and I had them in my 75G. For some reason I took them out, and put them in a plastic tu...

It sounds like your tank is approx. 45- 55 US gallons..so you would be able to house around 8 -10 african cichlids...around 5-6 Angelfish.. and if you chose not to go with cichlids..you could place ...
