Is this a male or female?

I purchased this fish because my lfs told me it was a juvenile Placidochromis Milomo VC-10. Is it? As it's getting bigger.. it doesn't look like one to me. But again, I'm no cichlid expert. What do you think? If it's not, what is it?

Is this Peacock a female or male?

I was thinking it kind of looks like a Mbuna. Thank you!

Thank you!

I picked him (or her) up from a local fish store a while back, but I'm not sure what it is. The tank wasn't labeled.

Is this Cichlid a Eureka Red, or Otter Point?

Ok, I'll pick some up tomorrow and try it out

Do you have to cook it or anything? I'll try that! I've only been feeding the pellets, and frozen (thawed) brine shrimp

Lemon Jake Peacock Cichlid

Does this look like Bloat to you, or is this fish just fat?

Oh yea they are constantly ripping them up. I'm always replanting them all. The plants are really starting to take off though, and the fish haven't been messing with them as much now for some reason. Certain plants they mess with more than others it seems.

The tank is 75gal. Filter is Penn Plax Cascade Canister 1000

How many Peacock cichlids could be kept together in a 75 gallon planted aquarium?

I am currently using this diffuser for my new pressurized system. Are there any better options to better dissolve the CO2 into the water?

Thanks! I'll look into these as well!

Ok, I will do this! Thank you for this information!

The bubbles did end up stopping. I turned the tank on a little. Installed drop checker today.. the liquid in the drop checker is still blue.. so maybe not enough CO2, but we shall see!

Thank you, I'll look into those!

I'm upgrading from the DIY CO2 system, to the pressurized system. I got a 5lb tank, an inexpensive regulator (until I do more research on them), the CO2 tubing, and a diffuser. I plan to get some sort of reactor to replace the diffuser at some point. I am unsure about one thing though.. after...

I'm switching over to pressurized CO2, from the DIY CO2. What regulator would you guys recommend? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am doing the citric acid diy system. It lasts at least 3 weeks. What if I got a better reactor, in order to allow the co2 to dissolve into the water better?

Thank you so much for your feedback! I will try blackout method for a few days, and hook my light up to a timer to have it come on in the morning for a few hrs, then again later on for a few hrs. I will also keep up on the cleaning. I had no idea that a diy co2 wasn't very effective on a 75...
