Plus one on the top one being a borleyi. Either juvie or female. Can't tell the size. Bottom two could be red empress juvie or some other protomelas. Hard to tell that young.

I have done it with a socofoli as well. IMO most everything will leave a yellow lab alone. Don't know why. They aren't aggressive.

SRT hongi stripes will fade to more of a female coloration at times. This fish though looks more like a elongatus. Perhaps a chailosi. Not sure on the variety. My SRT were more red or orange. No yellow. Also the picture chiclid appears skinnier and longer than a SRT. Could be a hybrid.

Looks like a male.

Juvi Red Empress.

Star saphire Cichlid google for the Latin name. I really want one.

I did the same thing. Drained completely then filled back up using python and large dinner plate to run the water over. This removes a lot of the smaller sand particles. Lot less to be stirred up later.

I had mbunas and was a me to keep Anubis. Tied to drift rock rather than plant. Had a few Rosetta's that did fine until I left for the weekend. Came back and plant was eaten. I guess they got hungry.

Gold nugget.

Have Eheim Pro 2 water filter. It is leaking around the power cord, does anyone know how to fix this?

Try dropping algae wafer in at night after you have turned off the lights for 15 minutes. Pleco just might get enough head start.

Hornwort grows best when it is floated. At least that us what the plant gal at the lfs said.

The photo I believe is hornwort. The little lettuce floating things might be duckweed. Hard to know with out a picture.

By the way the tank is very lively. Great to watch. One other caution is to be sure get the ratios of males to females correct if getting more than one the same species. also Some mbuna are more aggressive than others so be sure to research before you buy. I did not and wound up with a very...

My guess would be hornwort.

Have a basic Coralife light. 6 months old. When I turn on it flickers then goes off. On one side of the 67000 k bulb it is very dark. Does this mean I just have a bad bulb or is ballast broke? I took the bad looking bulb out and tried to turn on the other bulb and again flickers once then...

Anubis and swords doing great. Only ferts are root tabs for the swords. Change every three months. Still use a few fake plants for height.

I started using both fake and real plants. I started with Swords and later added Anubis and Val. I have not messed with more lighting or co2.

I put two in a guppy tank with about forty guppies. There were only 5 left after a week or two.

I have a magnum 250 HOT filter that came with the aquarium I bought. It currently has carbon in the filter that has been in there for over 6 months. I understand that carbon looses its effectiviness after about a month or so. I wanted to switch the carbon out for bio filtration. Was thinking...
