american cichlid

Hello, This is my red devil (9 inches), I'm looking for selling or trade since I moved him from my American cichlid tank to the African's. There he behaves, but he attacks my green terror in the other tank. Selling for $80 or trading for other American or African cichlids.

Wondering if my idea would work. I have a 95 gallon tank but it has a looot of decor so practically a 90 with an 8inch Red Devil, 3inch and 1nch firemouths, and 4.5 inch convicts and wanted to add a Peacock eel. Fish get along great together, I’ve had the tank for a year. Thoughts?

Heya! So, I have 2 Green Terrors at the moment. One of them had some eggs a few days ago but started being very aggressive to the other. I took the female out, thinking I'll let the other fertilize the eggs (I assumed the other was a male). However, the second GT ate all the eggs and today I...

Now I know a lot of different people who like to keep their tanks at different temps for different reasons. I have heard of people keeping them at 68 degrees in the winter to act as it would in the wild. Most people seem to keep their tanks at 75-80 degrees. A amphilophus keeper on YouTube said...
