Is that tank 80cm or 60cm?
I hope you cycled it?
You could have +-10 "small" fish in there imo and 2 ugly monster plecothings
But i dont think your filter is gona do the job is it big enough for the tank?
Today I got to purchase my first set of cichlids, and I'm wickedly excited about it, especially since my wife was the one who decided we could buy them now. So now we have two gorgeous electric yellow cichlids, and I wanted to express them to the great people on this site!
By the way, if I'm right in my reading, it looks like a boy and girl, is this correct, or are they too young to tell?
lol Yeah they are jokes. Mine play peek a boo with each other in the plants and rocks. Then when the 1 is about to pop up and look at the other one again, a yoyo flies by and scares them and they hide lol Sometimes they don't go to the surface for food, and just eat the falling bits.
I vary the food between 2 different flakes, sinking pellets, brine shrimp, blood worms, tubixfex worms, etc. So some foods sink, others don't. I usually make some of the flakes sink though for even feeding.
I'd had fish where they didn't act normal for the first 2 months! Always hid
I was looking at the pictures you posted of your yellows, good looking fish. I noticed some shoaling fish in there, are those glowlight tetras? Can you keep those with yellow labs safely?
Koikid88 said:Yeah I had a bunch of various tetras in there for cycling. Going to keep the red eyes. Not worried about the glowlights, neons and cardinals right now. I'll eventually take them out in a few months. Even if I don't get around to taking them out, oh well lol may just take the cards out
Fready said:Well the guppys are gona be stressed to the death if they live they could get sick and infect your other fish.
Totally up to you to try it imo.
...they are herbivores (primarily eat veggie stuff)
