tricky asked:


I have 4 different malawi cichlids that have either eggs or fry in their mouths, How do I know how far along they are, or how do I know when they will spit the fry out? I guess I have a very healthy tank as they all seem to be breeding or showing mating rituals.
species are:- Yellow Lab
Zebra Red Top
Peacock
Hongi

Well, our fish tank has about 5 (2 1/2” -4”) cichlids and a 4” common pleco. My family are planning on getting maybe a small red oscar cichlid. We have a 40 gallon tank and will get a bigger one in a few months. Is it a good idea to put a red oscar with the cichlids we have currently?

I’ve gotten mixed results from research about cupid cichlids some saying peaceful and some saying that they’re aggressive and I just want clarity.

I have 10 African Cichlids and 2 Plecos in a 39 Gallon tank, each cichlid an average of 2″ in size. I’ve had these fish for about a year now. So the local petsmart was remodeling their store and said that I could have all their old fish decorations for free. I got a bunch of rocks and plants. I’m thinking this is awesome. So I took all the plants (about 5) and soaked them in hot water for about 15 minutes then planted them in the tank. Afterwards, it seemed the fish were excited and exploring. This was yesterday afternoon. Today is about 11:00pm and I’m noticing that they are sluggish, hiding and not eating anything, very unusual for them since they are very active and aggressive fish. I’m worried it may have something to do with the new plants. Can anyone offer any wisdom on why this is happening?

It seems like the only cichlids that wont outgrow a 45g tank are convicts, blood parrots, and firemouths. I’ve never really liked dwarf cichlids as they dont really get all that big. Any suggestions on a tank setup? I also have a 30g tank that I’m looking to populate with 1-2 cichlids of some sort.
