i know this is an old thread but i figured id post up....
i have a rubber lip in my cichlid tank and he does perfectly fine.... the fish dont bother him and he doesnt bother them..... and hes cool as hell to look at :)
i have a 150 that they will probably be going into later on, the cichlids i am looking at are just various cichlids at the LFS and are very small..... i have a good amount of lace rock and stuff for them to hide in, the tank has been going for about 2 1/2 weeks i have a few community fish from...
i did a search and didnt come up with anything... maybe im not looking for the right words i dunno....
anyways i am going to set up a 30 gal with some cichlids and want to know what the best PH and other water parameters would be for them....
