Wait... I have been studying about chichlids today... They look like Dwarf Cichlids? I cant match them with anything They are blue./ I can get a pic but i cant identify them with a specie book! By the way i moved out the shrimp to another tank. And the cories are getting along fine with the chichlids! . And most of all my nitrite is gone now! YAY~!

Well is the are haps the need at least a 75 gallon tank. If they are mbuna htey need at least a 55 gallon tank. So no the tank is not big enough. Those corys will be fish food pretty soon too. I dont know about the shrimp but i wouldnt cont on a peaceful death for that either. I would move them up to a 50 gallon tank or see if ur lfs will take them.

Actually if they are dwarfs or shellies, the tank could suffice (although bigger is always better) and the other fish would be fine with them

bottom line - no one can adequately answer without more info (a pic of these fish would really help)

I am confused....from this post:
"My sister just came over and gave me two African Chiclids"

from your other post:
"Hello, yesterday I bought 2 cichlids from a LFS."

im saying that to reduce scrutenty

ok...cause I was going to suggest returning them for credit/ exchange if you think they would be a problem

Dont worry the LFS manager said monday he would exchange these two cichlids for any fishes in the store I could want other than the saltwalter fish so they will have a better home soon.
