Would this decor be okay for them? should I put in more caves? are they okay with the driftwood? (there are some mollies, tetras and cories here -> they will be transferred don't worry)

Is there a downside of NOT keeping species-groups?

I can keep just 1 male members of each species? I always thought that Mbunas required some sort of grouping activity amongst their own kind.

EDIT: When I said I had access to demasoni I meant saulosi.

Really? I can only house 3-5 labs in my aquarium TOTAL?

Thank you for the detailed reply. I have pretty hard water here in Israel with a pH of about 8. I have 2 follow-up questions in light of recent events: 1. I recently got a big piece of driftwood for my tank, will it be okay for the mbuna's? I'm mostly referring to their natural habitats and...

Thank you for the reply and the information. I've considered getting shell dwellers but I went on to find their colors very bland and they seemed mostly timid and not very active. are there any other cichlids I can keep if mbunas are out of the option?

Hi, I've recently acquired a 55 gallon tank including a stand for a measly $100 (such a great deal) and am currently in the process of cycling it. I've been set on Mbuna/African cichlids since I got the tank and due to that I've bought a filter with a turnover of 10 - which is about 2000 l/h...

That's interesting, I didn't know that there are cichlids in Israel have adjusted to harder water! In any case, I've recently gotten a 55 gallon tank for an amazing price so I might be able to extend my scope of cichlids to purchase, I'll have to do some research on those videos, thanks for the...

Thank you! do you know if there is any way I could possibly introduce a water softener without harming the fish?

I don't live in the U.S. and haven't had much luck finding my city's general water hardness level. Although, the hardness level in Israel is usually pretty high from what I've read. Although I live in a city I suspect that the hardness level is pretty high. Is that good or bad relating to the...

My tank measurements are pretty much 24,12,12. I'm not sure about my water hardness but I'm housing neon tetras and corydoras perfectly fine.

Hey there! I have a 15g cycled tank and I'm eyeing the cockatoo apistogramma and the german blue ram as my centerpiece fish. will my tank's accommodation be suitable for these fish? Ideally, I'm looking for either a single male or a pair since I'm not interesting in spawning\breeding and males...
