Info On Some Big Cichlids

[saboy]

I am just wondering what water ph and hardness some of these fish below need,

my water is 8.0 ph, and about 18GH, very hard !


Would I be able to keep these fish in my water?

Midas
Tri-Mac
Jack Dempsey
Flowerhorn
Texas Cichlid


Thats all I can think of for now ,,

i would say they would all work, just make sure where you get them from doesn't differ too much in param's to yours. if it does take longer acclimatising them.

Ok then , so I will make sure I ask the lfs

you have perfect water conditions for africans. if i was you i would start researching african rift lake cichlids.

Yea, I did sorta know that my water was good for africans, I was told to check my kh to see if I could keep malawis, but it was fine for tangnikian(sp) affricans, Which I dont like, I like the malawis,


but africans I not on the top of my list atm

I hope you are not going to keep them all together Lol.

As for your water ... I would try to soften it if possible, but you may get lucky and find fish that have been in the water for a month or so.

I dont want to get these fish atm, I was just wondering, if i ever do get them.

I obviously would have the correct setup for them

Correct set up for these guys would be a 4x2x2 EACH (except dempsey and texas) or bigger Lol. They generally dont get along with other fish even with there breeding partners.
