Definitely exciting the first time! It's super awesome to watch them grow! Goodluck! (:

Thanks for the tips and advice. Much appreciated ?

I didn't even know they were there until I saw four of them, but one by one they were getting eaten by my cichlids until just the one was left. I would have put them in another tank, but I didn't have one on hand.

I do have a single fry left from a previous batch of fry from the same female. I've fed him crushed flakes and he's nearly an inch in size already. He's in the same tank as the big guys and it's like they don't even notice him. I keep waiting for him to get eaten, but he's still there, every...

So I'm no expert on telling whether a fish is holding or not but I've been told to look for the "pouch" in the mouth or throat area and I have one female red zebra and she looks like she's holding, but I wanted to get a second opinion. What do you guys think?

My poor Sulpherhead didn't make it through the night. He got pretty beat up yesterday so I was gonna move him to a smaller tank to heal but this morning he was swimming up side down and didn't make it by mid day. I'm a bit bummed. But it happens.

I have mixed african cichlids in my 55 right now and they're doing great! I would definitely suggest lake Malawi cichlids. They're fun and have all sorts of colors.

Here's my 5 inch pleco. Not sure which species, but I love him all the same.

Haha no prob. Thanks! It took me awhile to figure out what I liked, but finally I found something!

Lethrinops intermedius is a beautiful cichlid you might like! I have a 55 gal with peacocks and haps, and a couple mbuna. You'll have a lot of fun with them! :)

My 55 gal with mixed Africans. Just recently added lava rock. Really lovin it.

Looks super awesome! What stock are you planning to add?

Way nice!

Do you guys know how fast they grow? Cause I've had this guy for almost a year and he's grown maybe an inch and a half. And I have an outdoor pond that, if they do grow larger, they can be transferred to.

Thanks for the link, it's very informative. I think my list will go as follows Taiwan reef Red empress Lemon jake Blue orchid Otter Point Butterfly Peacock I think I'll take my chances with the otter point and see how thinks go. Hopefully swell :)

Thanks for that advice, I'll definitely rethink on the demasoni...and the Jacobfriebergi Peacock does look pretty enticing! Do you know anything of the Tropheus species? I'm really interested in the tropheus moorii but I don't know how well they would do in my tank seeing as how they're from...

I have a 55 gallon african cichlid tank. 10 Peacocks and haps, and 1 five inch pleco. I do a water change twice a week and I really enjoy plecos, so that's why I was wanting another one. Do you suggest against it? I'm planning to upgrade my tank in the spring. I want at least a 120 gallon ?

Cause they're mbunas and I want my tank to be peacocks and haps :) they're starting to get real aggressive. My sulphurhead is all beat up cause of the big beastie.

They're the same pleco ha, but thanks for your help. I was thinking of adding another pleco to my tank, do you suggest a certain species?

Could anyone tell me what species of pleco I own? I think when I bought it it just said common pleco, but I don't remember.

My first attachment won't load for me so here it is again

So here's my 55 :) My current stock is as follows: 1 pleco 1 OB peacock 4 red zebras (two males one female and one tiny fry that has yet to be devoured) 1 german red 1 sulphurhead 1 lethrinops intermedius 1 Azureous 1 apache 1 yellow lab All are males except for the one female red zebra, and...

You might be right! That looks to be about what I saw. Awesome lookin fish in the low lighting!

Went to the Cleveland zoo today and saw some awesome looking african cichlids in one of the aquarium exhibits and I don't know what they are! I think I saw their name saying Red Humpback Cichlid, but I googled it and can't really find anything. Any ideas?

Yeah that will give you some time. I'd love to see photos whenever you get started.
