Temperature Of Water For Cichlids

[Cheffi]

Have read through the setting up aquarium but I can't find the correct temperature.

24-26°C or 76-79°F. Is what you need to keep them at mate.

 

[Cheffi]

Good guess then, I've got it set at 25. Thanks.

 

[mark7616]

cool 8) 8) 8)

 

[Cheffi]

And just tested my ph and it's 8 which appears to be optimum for Malawi's. :0

Thats perfect Cheffi!

Now once my new filter is set up I will start my fishless cycling which I'm not looking forward too as it looks pretty technical

I've always kept my tanks @ 78-80 and havent had any outbreaks of ICH in more then 5 years. The more aggressive mbuna IMHO should be kept in cooler conditions to keep the fighting down.
