Thanks. My friend bought a cichlid tank not knowing anything about them off someone who also didn't have a clue as the sold the tank as purely a malawi set up...yet half of them are south american! I have advised my friend to only keep one type of cichlid and to probably get rid of the americans

Tell your friend he should join AA. This forum is the best and I never stop learning.
