Do you have to tie crypts down? What about fish?

No, you don't have to tie fish down, they stay put most of the time.


There's several anubias species that work well, java ferns as well, and bolbitis.

Oh Jeta I sooo wanted to say that but figured some wouldn't see the humor in it! Thanks, that was a good laugh!

All well bred Bolivians have a significant amount of pink which intensifies during breeding along with other colors. Here's a bunch of pic's with breeding color Bolivian's (not all are bolivians but you can tell which ones are)..... bolivian rams in breeding colors - Google Search.

Yeah I guess your right, pretty amazing because they are not very attractive at first glance.

Jewel cichlids

Don't they get to big?

 

[Fishperson]

Seriously? I've never seen anything like it

Yeah, I wish my bolivian looked like that!

Would a single male guppy work for a fish to cycle with? My ph is 6.7, my gh is almost zero.

 

[jetajockey]

Yeah you're right, they'd get a bit big for a 10. A single guppy will help but you'll need to watch closely after you add more stock.

Yea. I heard cichlids need at least 20+ gallons.
