Hey guys, I'm new to the site and a complete noob in the fish keeping world. I got a 10 gallon tank and I have had it "cycling" (which I think I have finally figured out the meaning of) with a P. Demasoni African Cichlid and a Ghost White Lobster for about 10 days now. I've been doing a lot of research online about how to correctly get all of this started and have been having a lot of fun with all of it. So I'm understanding that I need to let it cycle for like a few more weeks until the nitrites and nitrates and stuff balance before I introduce any new fish into the aquarium. So after this happens, I'm wondering how many Cichlids I can keep in my tank. The guy at my local aquarium store said I should only keep other African Cichlids with the guys I have in there right now because they're very aggresive. I want to make sure he's correct in saying this. Also, for the first 8 days I was feeding them frozen blood worms because that's what the girl at Petsmart said my Demasoni would like. Then I talked to the guy at the aquarium store and he said I should feed him plant pellets because he's a herbivore so I immediately bought some of those but my Demasoni doesn't seem to like them or something for the past 2 days I have been putting the pellets in the tank. He just bites them and then spits them out. I don't know if they are too big for his mouth or if he just doesn't like them. So those are just a few questions I have been wondering about and also I would love any tips at all you might have for a brand new fish lover, thanks guys!
