ok plan A didnt work...now to plan B....want to turn my 75 gal into african cichlid tank (which i shulda done from day one) my tank is very mixed so wondering what needs to go...which i believe is almost my whole tank....and what can stay? the stock list as of now... 1x salvini cichilid 3-4in...

yes def a male...get a female and u wil have a nice pair...kribs are easy to pair....

yupp i agree with all...leave the male...let him protect...and ur fish will learn to leave them alone...ive had a few less aggressive fish lost in this situation but its survival of the fittest. and if u remove the male...you mite lose ur pair...has happened to me. i would say keep ur other fish...

they are mouth brooders...sometimes the female will put the eggs. even the fry in her mouth to protect them...not necessarily eating them. BUt YES they do eat them....i would just let it happen naturally....it takes the pair a few times of spawning and what not to get it right. Eventually they...

i would do a jack dempsey but he might eventually outgrow the tank. peacocks...there are tons of diff types ...they are cool fish n go well with yellows n jewels

thank u all for ur feedback...and yes my stocking is a very strange mix. but that is kinda what im trying to do, mix a strange array of african N new world with others...both semi aggresive n aggresive... I know ur not supp to mix these two types of cichlids but is has been done and ive seen it...

So far ... 2x Electric Blue Jack Dempsey 3-4in 2x Kribensis Cichlids 2-3in 2x Silver Dollar 4in 1x Pink Peacock Cichlid 3in 1x Jewel Cichlid 2in 1x Tiger Barb 2in 1x Common Pleco 1x King Tiger Pleco 1x OB peacock cichlid 4in was just removed and put into my 20 gal. cause he was too aggresive...

i hav 75 gal with 2 elec blue jack dempseys, which i am growing out n are at ab 3 in. 2 krib cichlids, 2 silver dollars, n some tetras n danios. my friend has two peacock cichlids, one ob peacock and other i believe is a yellow peacock, both nice fish but are getting bitched out in his...

yeah i understood u athena....thanx all for the advice....yeah the tank cleared up by itself within a few hrs and i just went on with treating it....the ich seems to be like its gotten worse thou....but ive had success with ich meds in the past so i hope everything will be ok.... i dont know...

One of my rams has ich it looks like...so i was going to start treatment...took the carbon out of my filter and when started it up again...the filter kicked up alot of debris n bacteria prob....made the tank gross n cloudy....Is this OK ? Dont know if i should contintue treatment now or put the...

my tank has been up for 2 months now...i do weekly water changes....should i gravel vac yet? or change my blue sponge filter in my fluval 405? I was told i was going to have to do this eventually but not for a few months after my fish in cycle....? Im just unsure of the maintenance i have to do...

yeah i think it must be the filter...its a fluval 405....but i dont see any holes or leaks anywhere....ive filled the tank with water since then and it has not leaked anything in the last 3 days....so it must be the filter....still stumped thou...

woke up this morning and my 75 gal is missing 25% of the water.....can only b two things....a leak or the filter....the only thing is ...nothing seeems to be wet except the carpet on the floor....my stand is made of wood and theres no sign of wet wood of any leak dripping to the carpet....same...

hey all...just added some new fish to my tank....used a stress coat yesterday....usually the tank gets cloudy after that but clears up in a day....the tank is still cloudy today? maybe a bacteria bloom ? also tested my water today...for first time in a week, and pH levels are low....seems...

krib cichlids (Pelvicachromis pulcher)... i have a pair in a community tank with electric blue jacks,silver dollars, and tetras....they are only aggressive if at all during breeding... My female krib...protecting her fry...
