Totally agree... thanks for the response.

Kinda looks similar to this one https://aquariumprosny.com/available-livestock/yellow-afra-cichlid/

Finally have some pics with Color showing. It's a great fish... very entertaining. Just want to provide best care I can for any of our fish. I took advice from another post and changed some of my fish but this one concerned me. I have a mix of Malawi Cichlids and this is one is definitely...

Is this a Christmas FULU? The ones I have seen online have horizontal stripes. Could it a be a Kyoga or something else? It does have a yellow hued stripe under the red just couldn't capture it very well.

I agree... however I would appreciate constructive advice on what to fix. So far my fish have been healthy outside of aggression from the blue guy. The tank is certainly not perfect. Just looking for suggestions on how to start moving it into the right direction.

I had 4 small tanks and finally pooled them into 1 65gal one. I currently have: 1 Male Afra Cichlids (3in) 1 Female Greyshaki Cichlid (2.75-3") 1 Dragonblood (2.5-2.75") 1 synodontis (cuckoo) 1 pleco (4") 11 random cichlid fry (0.75-0.25") 1 Tetra that was a dither fish and has to be one of...

Hello! I'm no expert, but currently have a bristle nose pleco for my glass walls that is doing well in my African cichlid tank. I also have a cuckoo synodontis that takes care of the bottom. It's my understanding it can be a hit or miss with plecos and cichlids. Sent from my iPhone using...

It's hard to see but the blue mbuna has a thin yellow line on the top of his dorsal fin and his tail fin. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

We have 2 mbuna's, and trying to figure out the breed. I think the brown is female and blue is male. The store we purchased at a few months was brand new and wasn't sure of the exact breed of mbuna. (Said they were part of their other stores display tank) I have been researching online for...

Sigh.. I don't know how to upload pics.. Forgive the multi posts

Was hard to photograph but starting to wonder if it is an mbuna or a peacock cichlid. Either way, we got it a 1.5 gallon mini tank and used water from our existing tank. There was a second one but he disappeared while we were capturing the second one. Just awes me a little... I love cichlids :D

Hello! My hubby and I were feeding our fish and noticed a lone baby hiding in the rock cave. We have 2 mbuna, 1 Dragonblood, 1 Jake Peacock, 1 Chocolate Pleco, 1 cuckoo synodontis, and 2 extremely tough diamond tetras (which where our dither fish when we started the tank). I do not see any...

UPDATE: A few hours after my last PWC, I added extra beneficial bacteria after speaking with my "cichlid" friend. It's been 3 hours since then and the Ammonia dropped from 2 ppm to around 0.75ppm. Going to leave the tank alone and see if the bacteria balances it out. Suggested I go to 25% weekly...

Hi Carriwin Yes, the 4 cichlids, pleco, and synodontis are probably too much for our existing tank. We are going to move them to a 100+ in a few months (4-6). This is just to get them and us in a solid routine. We are moving soon and didn't want to lug the giant tank back and forth. We have...

Hello! I am new to the forum site. Hoping some kind cichlid enthusiasts can help me. We have a 20 gallon tank with 4 cichlids between 1.75-2.25", 1 cuckoo synodontis (1.25") and 1 bristle nose pleco (small 1.5" for now). We started our tank over a month ago fish less cycling for a week and...
