[orange shark]

Hi,

This is a new stretch of the woods for me, ive never been on here before lol. My lfs which ive got a job at has a lot of malawi cichlids and I wouldn't mind knowing things about them before i start working there!

Is it possible for someone to please just run through the basics of cichlid keeping please, if possible it would be great

also is it true that cichlid is pronounced sick-lids? lol

Something to keep in mind...

Compatibility is REALLY important. You don't want the customer coming back saying so and so told me this would work and I'm pretty sure that xxx killed xxx.

That would not be fun

p.s. lol, they won't be "friends" like my emoticon...but you get the idea

Cichlid is pronounced sick-lid

does that mean Characin (the tetra family) pronounced: sara-cin?
