i have had all the cichlids for idk about a month now, they were in the tank during my nitrite issue.
All i can say is atleast this cichlid seems to have a strong will to live, the other one just g...

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...
Although Cichlids are naturally aggressive, sometimes you can make the bully calm down by moving him to a different aquarium for about a week. Put some new decorations or rearrange a few things in the...
...avel from an established aquarium will help with the nitrogen cycle. The parrot fish is a hybrid of African Cichlids, and angelfish are South American Cichlids. They require very different environment...
Since Oscars are already Cichlids it should not be much of a problem. However Cichlids originate in different environments, so it's a good idea to research the species you are considering. The ni...
...ly problem I did have was a high nitrate - i believe above 50 ppm. So im working on that.
Id like to get cichlids but part of me is so bent on a eel that i could do without them. Could i put cichl...
Cichlids like to dig in the substrate, so it's difficult to keep rooted plants. I agree that live plants benefit most aquarium environments, and every fish tank in my house has them. The garage h...
...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...
What kind of cichlids did you get?
cichlids in a planted aquarium???i have never seen this before...
When mature, the arowana will not even fit in a 125 gallon tank. Oscars are Cichlids and are probably better with no tankmates.
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 ...
I have heard cichlids to be mean fish at times but I'm not to sure about why.
Strange, ive noticed some of my tanganyika cichlids do that as well.
It changes often. Latley I've developed a taste for dwarf cichlids.
...fish can still decide to dig in the gravel and keep things stirred up.
I just read a little about Parrot Cichlids, and they MAY not be South American Cichlids. Apparently they have been hybridized ...
ya you can keep cichlids,arowana,senegal even with pleco...no problem at all...
Thanks, Achintya. Also be aware that many Cichlids require special conditions.
angels are fine with the guppies. also, most cichlids are compatible with puffers.
aren't cichlids aggressive?
and now that i think about it, i really want a little puffer! does anyone know anything about them? or what other fish are compatible with them?
Phil your new tank looks amazing! And I am sure one day you will have again cichlids but I m also certain I am not the only one here who is impressed by your determination! Good luck!!!
Thanks so much, I'll check the search engine for cichlids. Appreciate you answering back.
its 48 inches long, 24 wide and 18 deep. i'm wanting to make it into an aggresive tank with cichlids and pacu and what not
