cichla community

I have a 125 and have had my tank sectioned in half for months in fear of my Ornate Bichir possibly eating my zebra pike cichlid (very expensive loll). My bichir is only getting wider and longer, probably at the 15-16 inch mark and my pike is only around 7-7.5 inches. Should I look at getting...

Same fish displaying different colors I'm thinking mono but I'm not 100% what do you guys think

Welp, as of last week I finished my thinning. Bringing down my bass school from 13 to 7. The trade off is the water looking crystal clear even after a week without a change and the new hierarchy and space had made all the cichla grow and color up even further in almost no time! Especially the...

The 325 finished cycling and getting set up. I transferred over my bois in the growout and they flared up in color from happiness! It’s so nice seeing them be happy. Right now it’s got 2x Xingu, 2x Rio Negro Orinos (the deep red eyed one is named Demon),1x Azul (named Blueberry), and one...

hello I have a yellow lab and I just got a blue one that looks just like the yellow lab but .5 inch bigger. My yellow Cichlid was aggressive to the catfish and took chunks out of his fins but now the blue one is terrorizing the lab. I heard I could get more to get rid of aggression but I have a...

Inspired by @mrrobxc I would like to set up a south american community with cichla as the focal fish in the tank. The tank is 90"x48"x24" and will most likely use a 125 as a sump. PH could be an issue since it is around 7.6 from the tap, but the water is very soft with only 2.5 dGH. So...
