cichlid

So today I decided I'm gonna get some more movement for my tank, and I headed up to the store and got these 4 convicts (1 female and 3 male). They are in a 75 gallon fresh water and tank mates include; 2 parrots, one green terror, 3 small silvers. They fit right in and started swimming and...

Are Bass and Bream/ blue gill in the cichlid family?

What is a fair price for a 4-5 inch rainbow cichlid? Thanks all!

Hello all! So after battling an algae bloom, and finally returning water to normal condition, I have taken some updated pics!! Let me know what you guys think. Tank contains 2 blood parrots, 1 green terror, 3 silver dollars and one pleco.

My tank setup right now is a 75g including two blood parrots (between 3-4 inches), one green terror (4 inches), and three silvers around the diameter of 4 inches. I've been feeding blood worms/brine shrimp once a day, and pellets maybe twice. Some days I go completely without feeding, especially...

Hello all, so i had major algae bloom in my 75g tank that ive been battling for a couple weeks. It all started with me putting in an algae wafer for my plec to eat, and im sure because he didnt eat it all, it caused some cloudy water that i didnt like. With me being impatient, i took out about...

Hello, I am new to MFK. I have a general question about a ram tank that I currently have in the works. I have a 20 gallon, minimally decorated with a rock and fake plants. I also have a bubble wall. I was wondering how many dwarf rams would be suitable for this tank. Also if anyone has any...

Hello I am new to MFK. I would like to show you guys a bad picture of one of my fish I had purchased a Month ago. I purchased it for $15 from a local exotic fish store in Connecticut. I was told it was a Dovii managuense hybrid (Wolf / Jaguar as it was labeled) but I'm not a Dovii or...

are these true Nandopsis festae or fake? thinking about purchasing.

This is the largest fish in my fish room, he is also the meanest fish I have ever owned. He will not tolerate any other creature in his tank. Even snails fall victim to his wrath. So, he lives alone! However, he is incredibly smart and beautiful. When he passes I will probably cry, and he will...

Here's a picture of one of my Red Terror grow outs, a real stunner considering he's only just pushing over 3.5" and showing the majority of his colors already. He has been kept in a tank with a more dominant RTM and a smaller Texas recently, so the colors would normally be much brighter...

I decided to get back into cichlids after being cichlidless for a few years. I got this Devil on December 6th, 2016. It's housed in a 90gal by itself. I figured that I'd share some pics as the time passes. More pics (spanned between December 9th & 10th)

Has anyone ever had a clay pot change the water chemistry in the tank? Is this ok to put In my tank?

i originally posted this in the ca/sa cichlid forum but I will try here for better results. I have an electric blue acara breeding pair in a 45 gallon by themselves. They have bred once and used to eat like pigs. Since they have bred they have been eating picky I haven't seen them eat for almost...

I'm revamping my 75g tank and am interested in adding geophagus to it. What I plan on currently keeping are my Gold Severum, my featherfin catfish, and my Senegal Bichirs (1 large and two small adolescents [pictured]). I am rehoming my standard pleco and remaining 2 silver dollars (the rest of...

I have a 75g tank with a large Senegal bichir, about 6-8inches, with 2 juveniles that are about 3-4in each. They get along swimmingly, and share their space with a feather fin catfish, about 7inches long, and a 7in standard pleco (was sold to me as a female bristlenose when it was tiny ☠️). We...

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! Just joined the forum to ask a few questions about ordering fish online, something I have never done before. some info. The tank in question is a 55g mbuna tank I aquired, that needs some work in the stocking department. once I remove the few incompatible fish...

Has anyone had success with keeping multiple cichlid pairs of the same or different species together in the same tank?

So I want some dither fish for my 45 gallon breeder tank for my blue acara pair. I had 12 silvertip tetras but they were too aggressive and fin nippy. They did more harm then good for my relaxed acaras! So I want a mellow calm, tight, schooling tetra. Preferably pretty! I was looking at serpaes...
