    First, thanks for your service! I'm in MD, but I have been to KG once and got like 10 fish from them. They are amazing family business. I was lucky to get them on a slow day and they spent like 2h with me and my kids. They even helped my daughter name all the fish. LOL. They have amazing...

    Moving advice

    Could use a battery powered air pump and run a air stone to the tote to keep oxygen going. You can do a 100% water change in this process. The filter is the one with the bb. What about moving the tank? hopefully, you move it with the fish and set it up at the new place quickly. including...

    Thinking about a new tank

    flame suit on... you can mix haps, peacocks, and mbunas. That's what I have and no serious issues. They are aggressive by nature but mine seem to be fine. I don't have 2 of the same. it's all male of all kinds. If you do same species, watch out for male to female ratios. The PH needs...

    This is my 55 gallon cichlid tank aim have a problem of poop getting behind rocks and

    power heads or a pump with a media bag to use a vacuum. Feeding less is another option.

    Feeding my fish

    Mmm... I could not find 3mm Cichlid pellets from NSL. what up?
  11. FrankoQ

    Feeding my fish

    I'll get some 3mm and try that. problem is, I have like 1200gm of 1mm pellets. 1 can is sealed so I might be able to trade it for 3mm.

    This is where to buy cichlids online!!!

    Anyone tried KG tropicals in VA? They are a bit far from me but took the road trip to go visit them. Very nice fish for mbuna, peacocks and haps. They ship also.

    Feeding my fish

    is that because it is better to do multiple feedings a day? As to why 1mm pellets, in my case, most of my fish are under 4 inches. is there a rule of thumb for when to switch to bigger size pellets?

    Feeding my fish

    I put mine on a diet a couple of days ago and I also have noticed a LOT less poop in the tank. I think I'll keep the once a day feeding.

    Feeding my fish

    How many times a day are you guys feeding? I was doing twice a day for 30 (mbuna,haps, peacocks) in a 180g tank. 2 power heads do a good job to spread the 1mm pellets and I see all get some. I noticed LOTS of poop, so I decided to feed once a day. Another member mentioned feeding every...

    New Cichlid Tank

    Plan ahead what stock you want. although many say no, you can mix mbuna, haps, and peacocks. I do agree on not mixing old world with new world cichlids. Do not add one fish at a time as the current tenants will get upset and beat up the new guy. I found it better to add 2-3 at a time so it...

    anyone have mixed african tanks?

    Yes. So far so good. there are a few with nips in their fins. One new guy was beaten almost to dead but I now have him in recovery in a hospital tank. Per others doing the same, it's a hit or miss. Good luck

    Tank upgrade

    That's what I did! :brows: By the time she said "what the...", the tank was in the basement.

    Do cichlids always chase a new fish?

    Yes and it is better to add several fish instead of just one. In my case, the locals chase the new guys for about 3 days.
