Evening all, I have had a pair of german blue rams for 2 months now. The LFS said they were a true pair and for a month they were inseparable - in fact when I did a large water change they mated. Unfortunately after they mated the female ate all the eggs. From this moment on the male has...

If you had the right sized tank what fish/combinations of fish would you go for? I just want to know what the african cichlid fans like best Tanganyika fish or malawi fish? I have set up a small tank currently holding a few shell dwellers but I can see myself getting a large tank in the near...

Hi I know I should probably post this in the journal section but I wasn't convinced that the people that have helped me so far visit that part of the site. Anyway - I want to show the people who have helped me out on this site how my tank is looking so far. It only contains two 2" synos...

dthoffset and KJ thank you for your comments - following your advice I have decided to read up a bit more on a tanganikya set up, I have recently checked my PH and due to the coral sand it has raised to a level suited to tanganikya. thanks once again

Hi I have a 4 foot 30 gallon fish tank set up with coral sand and slate stones. I am currently cycling the tank however ever since I started the cichlid project I have received conflicting information. Is my set up big enough for malawi mbunas (mainly electric yellows)? If not can anyone...
