10-4 good buddy. :-) Thanks for answering me so quickly. I will try to move them to 2 separate breeders when I clean their house next...wish me luck...you know those cichlids are smart & lighting fast! Lol Sent from my GS4

I've got an electric yellow female & a red top zebra female confirmed holding fry. Should I separate them and place them in breeders now? Or should I wait until I see fry eyeballs peeking out of the mouths? Sent from my GS4

Oops...I meant to quote you. :) Sent from my GS4

It's called hole in the head disease. The others here can advise on treatment or you can call a reputable fish store for immediate advice. Sooner is better...evidenced by how quickly the problem appeared. :/ Sent from my GS4

Larger females should be fine, as long as they aren't giant in comparison. :) It would at least take some pressure off the holding female. ;) Sent from my GS4

I adopted a 3.5" polypterus palmas/marbled bichir and I love him to death! Anyone else in cichlid-land with these wonderful dinosaurs? Fascinating creatures...part amphibian & part fish. I find him wicked and sweet all at the same time. ;) Sent from my GS4

You're awesome. Thanks so much for the kind words & giggles this morning! I needed that today. :D Are your tanks pictured somewhere on the site so I can see them? Also, I'd like to comment that you sound just like me..."cichlids RUNNING around the tank". I too, talk like they have legs...

Well thank you redsea! Glad to be here. You are all so kind and helpful. :) Sent from my SCH-R970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Why thank you Mogurako! :) That's what I'm talking about....give me information I'm not aware of - so I too can become more educated. No more table salt use for me... Thanks again & my Mbuna thank you too...you know your stuff. :) Sent from my SCH-R970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Did I cause confusion? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. :) I would just like to clarify that I'm aware that Epsom salt is plain old magnesium sulfate and I don't use it to buffer the water, I use it strictly as bloat prevention. Also, please understand that I use Morton brand iodized table...

They find blanched spinach pretty tastey too. My Mbuna go crazy when I give it to them. They're like piranhas when I break out the seaweed! Sent from my SCH-R970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

How true... Sent from my SCH-R970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sillyfishies is soooo right. A place to guard and call home (& maybe a mate or not) is all a cichlid wants. :) Sent from my SCH-R970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
