question x2

[MIKE D]

Yea I think someone got caught dumping Jack Dempseys in a lake around here. They got too big for them.

 

[MySpace Mike]

Hmmm all it takes is one moron to ruin it for the rest of us. Well try firemouths or white convicts.

No, jewel cichlids are from africa, and mixing sa/ca cichlids with africans doesnt work well. some people will say do it, but theyre from 2 different areas and need different water parameters.
Dempsey.

Not quite true.

Jewels are from Africa, however, they are not from the rift lakes. They are from the rivers and creeks of west africa and require basicaly the same water parameters as CA's.

 

[MySpace Mike]

Why do people try to mix fish from 2 different area's of the world? Why tell someone to go ahead and do it?

Also it is true, yes their water parameters are a bit, main word BIT, of the same water parameters, however the Jewels are known to like a little bit lower of a ph than a Convict.
