I think you need to loose the backdrop and put real plants back there!

Mbuna cichlids are mostly herbivores lol.

plants + mbuna = disaster

Ummm btw I tested my pH... 7.4 same as the tap and my ten gallon on both low and high ph testers. Although I read on a site min. for Malawi was 7.4 and they seem to be doing ok other than a little crankiness lol (but I think thts just them). Any recommendations?

Bump. Anyone?

 

[mfdrookie516]

what is it usually? you could add cc, but there is really no need for it, now if it were 6.0 on the other hand...

 

[Aquarium1]

When I started it was 7.8. Thanks, I was just wondering if it'd be a problem.

Beautiful!

 

[Aquarium1]

Thanks Jason. I'm planning on buying 4 acei for it next week ($32 bucks ), can't wait lol.

 

[mfdrookie516]

how big are the acei a1? did you get the "medium" size?

 

[Aquarium1]

Idk. I asked the lady about the acei and she said she'd order em for me. She asked my "about that size" as she pointed to fish in the tank (which was about 2-3 or so inches. The same size as my smaller red zebras). I said yeah I guess.

5g betta 7.4-7.6
55g cichlid 7.4
10g QT 7.8 Too bad my 55g doesn't have that pH lol

Tomorrows the big day . Btw, mfd, do you have an ETA on that heater lol.
