My partner and I have a 34 gallon tank and did everything the LFS said to do with regards to cycling the tank and stocking it. I had been told by the LFS (who are very knowledgeable about cichlids so assumed I would be safe in listening to their advice) that I would be better off packing the...

I have coral sand in my aquarium for my Malawi cichlids and currently have some Ich problems. I need to buy a cleaner for the sand/crushed coral and was wondering what type of cleaner you guys have that are best for coral sand? Ideally I'd like something to help me with water changes too as I'm...

I'm just in the process of raising the temp for mine. Only showing on both my Pictus so far but I'm so worried about all of them as they all seem a little dim in colouration . :( Did a 50% water change today just before I noticed.

Looks great, wish I could do the same but I'm worried about heavy rock in my tank. Will be going out to buy more live rock in a few days to create more hiding places for my cichlids.

My tank. 34 gallon tank with 15 cichlid juvies in and 2 catfish. The guy at the store said we would be better fitting 30 cichlids in there but I'm worried they will grow too big. I wouldn't want to rehome any of them.

Hi, I'm new here! :) I have a 130 litre (34 gallon) tank with 15 Malawi cichlids in and 2 catfish. We already have some very different personalities in the tank. I'd like some help identifying some of them as I forgot to take note of the specific names of them when we picked them in the...
