cichlid

Just thought it be nice to see some beautiful flowerhorn... here is my big boy monzie before he passed R.I.P.

Looking for another active fish for my 55 gallon tank. I have loved my electric blue acara and was wondering what other species of cichlid have similar behavior to eba. I have some ideas but was wondering if anyone has personal experience with any fish they would recommend. Thanks in advance :)

So this is my Tandanus Catfish, he currently resides in a 4ft Cichlid tank featuring 1 Venustus, 1 Firemouth, 1 Jack Dempsey, 1 Tiger Oscar, and 2 marbled peacocks, sun sun canister filter (403b maybe, came second hand), he is getting worse, I know he shouldnts be in this tank with these fish so...

Hey guys, this is my first post on here, so if I'm doing anything wrong let me know (even though I've spent multiple hours on the website). Anyways, I was wondering what kind of cichlid I should get for my 65 gallon tank. The dimensions of the tank are 48x18x24, and in 6 months I'll have a 6ft...

Hi all! I'm new here and hoping to get some advice. I'll try to keep this short.... 75 gallon tank with a 12 inch Jaguar cichlid and 6 inch Jack Dempsey cichlid (and 12 inch pleco and 6 inch synodontas catfish). Trying to decide what to do with the tank from here. I've had the JD for a few years...

Hi, just wondering if anyone could help me with the sexing of my young jaguar cichlid. Around 7-8cm long

Hi all, first post in the group, so bear with my over-explanation. What would be the minimum tank size for a saxatilis pike and red bay snook? The largest tank I have is a 135g, home to a few small bichir and a couple silver dollars (I can move the SDs back to my Malawi tank if they need to be...

Say hello to Turquiose!! She is my new Electric Blue Texas Cichlid!!! She is beautiful and a little stinker! My other fish were following her all day yesterday it was so cute! She ate right away, and seems to be fitting in well with a sub group of my fish in the tank! So happy!! Happy Birthday...

Hello, New here, been growing n breeding cichlids for a while now, ive recently aquired a new hobby of buying pale looking cichlids from poorly maintained tanks that dont look great, they may have been bullied and probably been fed cheap food as well. I bought a medium sized JD (6-7 inches) and...

So I have a sun cat with 2 oscars. All three fish are about the same size 3-4" ( sun cat is slightly smaller). But im having trouble feeding my sun cat. I researched that you should feed the catfish so that it should always have slight bump in the belly. i havent able to acheive that. i feed my...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and rather new to aquariums and fish as a whole. I’ve had cichlids for about a year and a half now. I had mainly Africans but due to me moving I’ve sadly lost all but 2 of my Africans due to the stress of it all (luckily they left a surprise behind them with 4 fry that...

Yesterday i got a 125 gallon aquarium off of craiglist with a stand and filter and a lid. It is 72" 18" 22". I want to get some cichlids for it. I either want to do peacocks and haps or central and south american cichlids. For peacocks and haps I was thinking about doing a few different types of...

i purchased these under the assumption from what the LFS Aja’s told me we’re jack Dempsey’s. After looking into the coloration and breeds I’m starting to think they are GT saums. May someone please help me identify what I may have so I can find suitable tank mates for them. I have a 205 gal set...

I have two baby oscars, both around 2" long. I got them a week ago. I am having trouble feeding them. I feed them in the mornign when i wake up, and the evening Usually when i go to bed, but not always that late. I bought cichlid pellets that float at first, but after they sit in the water for...

Hey guys, I'm new here. I got a 40-gallon tank with 2 baby Oscars (tiger and red) and 1baby sun catfish (aka eclipse catfish). I know, the tank will be too small eventually, but I plan on moving them into a bigger tank-75 gallons or possibly more-when the Oscars get bigger. I am new to both...

I cleaned the tank and moved some things around. Well two fish that shall remain nameless were unhappy with my design and south to fix it! Sassy girls!!

Hi everyone, could you please help me find out what fish it is? Those two was sold as Lwanda aulonocara but after 3 weeks in my tank I can see diffrences between those 2 and my other juvi peacocks. On my amateur eye it is some mbuna species. Those fishes are just starting geting some color and...

Hey, I have just purchased a new Thai Silk Flowerhorn, expecting delivery on Tuesday. I have attached a few pics and a youtube link below.. It is sold as un-sexed due to only being 7.5cm, and cant be properly vetted. I would like to get you guy's options on the sex and quality? I would...
