Good morning guys! Who wants to help a blond out? My son really wanted to get some African cichlids. While he was away at school I hit a Craigslist ad not knowing a darn thing... So here we go. They are in a 55 gallon tank. I purchased 6 yellow labs and I think 12 blue and black striped somethings of the african variety. All unsexed about 1 to 2 inches long. How do I determine sex? Is that too many? How many can I have in one tank? How many caves will I need and what size will they need as adults? How big will they get? How often should I feed? How long should I grind up their food? I have been buying pellets and using a pepper grinder to grind it up. What is an oto catfish? Can I have them and crayfish too? And can I add a red tail shark in the mix? As you can see I got a long way to go. Now I am setting up a second 55 gallon that I could use for spill over. Please get me going in the right direction. Cuz next year, I would like to set up a 150.
