I have one exactly like her but bigger lol. I was told she is an OB Peacock and she is now a new mom. Can't wait to see what the babies look like as they get bigger. 48-50 are in the grow out tank now

Not everyone wants to hear what doesn't agree with what they want. When we started this adventure I hated hearing I couldn't mix Cichlids from different areas together but I wanted to do what was best for the fish. I have 20 African Cichlids, 6 Cuckoo catfish and 2 plecos happily living in a...

If I'm not mistaken you also need to worry about the water parameters. I have African Cichlids and their hardness and ph levels aren't good for a lot of other fish.

Thank for all the advice! It's a great help being able to turn to those more experienced

Thank you for the input it is much appreciated. This is our first time with little ones. We are in the process of setting up the grow out tank. Right now they are still in the big tank in the hatchery. They are just starting to lose their egg sacks. We are doing a 20 grow out with sponge filter...

We are running two Hydras and are very satisfied with them. We have ours in our 120 cichlid tank.
