I currently have 2 ventustus at about 3 inch in a 55g. They are in with 12 other assorted cichlids of a similar size and I had always intended on removing them when they got too big but I am now upgrading to a 75g and was wondering would this be big enough to keep them in ?

Has anyone got any suggestions on what to have in a African species tank , I can't seem to make my mind up, I was thinking some kind of tropheus but keep changing my mind. The tank is a 70g

I Understand that tropheus are best kept in groups but is it ok to keep several types of tropheus in the same tank?

This is not exactly a cichlid question but seen as it's for my cichlid tank has anyone got any good tips for removing algae from my fake plants please

I have 5 what I believe are maingano I've had them in around 5 months, when I bought them they were around 1 inch long 2 of them have doubled in size the other 3 have hardly grown could this mean that their female?

I've just put some new bulbs in my tank and I have to say it makes a massive difference. I went for the same colours as the old ones but it definitely needed new bulbs. All the colours on my fish stand out 10x more The pics don't do it justice

Hi I'm just wondering how many of you are from the U.K that come on here and where you buy your cichlids from. I'm in Yorkshire and there's not a great deal of choice round me for african cichlids, most lfs only keep a few in stock so it have been putting the miles in recently trying to find...

I am adding a second cannister to my tank is there anything I need to know? I have a 55g tank that is already cycled but I'm buying a new tank soon I thought if I add the cannister for that tank to my existing one for a while it will give it a good start for when I set the new tank up is this a...

this is how it looked before This is how it now looks with the new rock and background. I've got a new wave maker going in Friday

I have noticed lately that a few people are using wave makers in their tanks I was just wondering if you can use one instead of having an air pump in the tank if so which do people prefer?

Has anyone got any pics of their fuelleborni cichlid they could put up I've just been looking at a site that sells them but I've never seen one before. Are they worth getting?

Hi I'm sure this has been asked before but can't find where. What is the smallest size tank for 2 firemouths? Also what other fish could go in that size tank with them if any? The 2 I have are currently about 1.5 inch and are in a 33g tank on their own.

I have a breeding pair of blue zebra I believe they are usually my male who is the most dominant fish in the tank gives the female a fairly hard time chasing her round and bullying her but I've just noticed he's gone a really dark colour and he's spending his time either in the top corner of the...

I have a 55g tank and at the minute I have got 2 blue zebra 2 peacock 6 bumblebee and 5 johanni they all get on at the minute but are only small will this change in time

Is there anything I should or shouldn't be doing when putting new cichlids into my tank. Other than what you would normally do when putting any new fish in a tank

If I put plant pots in my tank as caves do I need to use any special treatments to clean them first

What sort of cichlid is this please
