When you say species are you talking about the overall type, for example 6 mbunas and 6 peacocks, etc. Or Is it more specific, for example 6 red zebra mbunas and 6 yellow tail mbunas, etc. I think I'm catching on.

Your entire response has gone way over my head! Would that be a blend of males and females? Don't want the trouble of the fish breeding. Can you elaborate on the 2 of 6 and 3 of 5...seriously what are you saying here :confused: I'm not made of money either so getting that many fish next month...

I'm in the process of expansion and want to get some feedback on my situation. I currently have a 30 gallon tank with the following: 1 male Red Zebra mbuna 3-4 inch roughly 8 years old 1 male Auratus (I believe) 1-2 inch; few months old These fish came with the tank which we got from a friend...

One of the reasons I got the RTS was that according to TropicalFishCareGuides website it was 2nd on the list. I liked the look of this fish and wanted to have more than 2 fish in the tank. Now, I know I have no clue what I am doing here, but it's to the point where everyone has their own...

Thanks, I didn't know we were getting fish with the aquarium. Been trying to research as much as I can as quickly as possible. She had a tank previously with a turtle and I agreed to getting the tank assuming that's where this was heading. Like I always say....this is why we can't have anything...

Thanks for the advice. I will take him back to the store tomorrow. Will the other two be fine together? The bigger one chases the smaller one too but no signs of physical injury.

Do I have enough time to setup the new tank or should I prep it in the afternoon and move him right away. I'm afraid that I don't have enough time to cycle the new tank properly for him. Should I take some of the current tank water and set him aside for a few days in a temporary container...

My wife picked up an aquarium from a friend a little while back. We are new to this and need a bit of advice! It is a 30 gallon tank that came with a pair of African Cichlids. An all orange one, about 10 years old and a younger blue and black striped one who is about 3 months old. Long story...
