    What cat or tank cleaners for malawis

    The absolute best catfish cleaners for Malawi Cichlids are Synodontis catfish. They are a little pricey, but keep the place clean. I have a johanni cichlid that is insanely territorial, and will only let the catfish com into his little alcove. The bigger your cichlids, the bigger the...

    Would this tank situation be alright for a pair of Rams?

    In college? Make it something simple, go to your LFS and find some smaller fish. You can have a beautiful small tank if you find the right fish. Cichlids are probably not suited for this aquarium. They can hog the bank account too :) Also, if anyone knows about cichlid breeding, help is...

    46g bowfront

    I would say go with a malawi tank. At 46g, you can hold at least 18 good sized african cichlids. The best way to learn of species is to window shop at places like bluegrasscichlids.com or cichlidsrus.com Check these out, I'm sure you will find some uniques species that you like. Then, check...

    Algae Eaters & Cichlids

    You need to purchase a synodontis catfish. They are the best cleaners for use w/african cichlids. They can get up to a foot long, but are more expensive as they get older. Get a fairly larger one (5-6", the more the better) for whatever won't break the bank. At my (awesome) LFS, the 2'...

    Help! New member!

    The more cichlids, the less 1 can be picked on (usu.), and the less territory 1 can claim to fight for. Whenever I add fish, my johanni always picks 1 of them to REALLY beat up right away. But, he gets confused if I tap on the glass right as he gives chase. Make lots of hiding spots, as stated...

    2 Week Trip - Leaving Lights OFF? Pellet Food?

    I might invest in a $35 automatic feeder (though it is a bit expensive). If you travel on business alot, these can be very helpful. Also, if any programmers are out there, I want a networked app for my mac that lets me remotely feed my fish at any time :) maybe w/ a webcam tpp :)

    Oscars mating?

    Try posting your video on youtube or google video, all you get is a bunch of code with your current link. Also, I assume you have a Male and a Female in quite a large tank. Check if the female is getting bloated, meaning she is producing eggs. Usu, she will lay a bunch of eggs on a...

    Angelfish eggs

    Yea, my father used to have 2 female oscars in a tank, and every once in a while a bunch of useless eggs would show up. We just would clean them out. The water in an oscar tank has to be cleaned so often anyway... Don't mean to "advertise" but I really need some help with my african cichlids...

    Pregnant Cichlid

    Recently I purchased 2 Hemichromis bimaculatus (Jewel) cichlids. One of them is male, the other, female. Both are doing very well, and have become very vibrant in my 95 g. Just earlier today, I was feeding the fish, when I noticed the female jewel. Her mid-section was extremely bloated, and I...
