    When can my yellow lab fry join the main tank?

    I have three yellow labs, a kenyi, an auratus, 2 blue dolphin, and an orange cichlid. I don't want the babies to be food for my auratus. When will it be a good time to add them to the main tank?

    How long should I leave my lights on?

    I have a 20 gallon Malawi tank and I have two choices.

    What are some neat ways to interact with your african cichlids besides food

    I have a spinning snoopy happy meal toy right by the glass that makes my african cichlids (especially my yellow labs) mesmerized. They usually swim right up to it. They act all excited. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Powerhead or circulation pump or no pumps at all?

    I have a 20 gallon high african cichlid tank with 3 yellow labs, 1 kenyi, 1 melanochromis auratus, and a clown pleco. I have 500 gph filtration (Fluval Aquaclear 70, and Marineland Penguin 200) which cycles the entire capacity 25 times per hour. I was considering getting a small powerhead or...
