Cheers for thoroughly explaining that. I am just trying to figure out why is he so small, the tank which it came from had all the fish the same age (female which I have included) but he is smaller than the rest of the fish however 100% male. Was he a sleeper male? Will he grow lager then and...

Thank you! Yeah I think they are male and female then. If I am to take it after tail shape the female has a round one and the male has more like V shaped one. The only thing that doesnt stand is the male is very small compared to her, but the tank I got it from the shop was having multiple...

Thank you, yeah they seem to be super easy going so far eating anything they've been given. Regarding sexing them, this has been on my mind for the past 4 days...I am not sure what they are. I THINK one is a female as she has black on the ventral fins, almost no orange on her caudal fins she...

Thank you everyone who replied. In the end we went to the lfs and ended up buying 6 x Penguin tetras and 1 pair of baby Apistogramma cacatuoides which the fish keepers advised have hatched in tank using the local water and have been raised and kept in tanks with local tap water so they are used...

Cheers Byron, I'm going to start looking into them:) do you think 4 would be ok for the size of the tank?

Hello! So I've just measuredit's 34cm x 27 cm x 59cm excluding the sand. The sand is 5cm deep so with it would be 39cm height?

Thank you for the reply, it makes sense what you're saying about Rams and I wouldnt want to end up killing them after a water change. Rain water is out of question as we live in a flat and can't collect it anywhere. I don't know much about cichlids and I am open to any species to be honest...

Hello everyone, Could I please ask you for some advice regarding stocking up a 64L freshwater fish tank with some cichlids? (See photo of the setup - it's cycling now) We have been gifted a tank by someone who wasn't using it anymore and since we are at home all the time these days we thought...
