Who Gives A Fish Forums

Yeah, I get it, starting from scratch. I'm just trying to do my due diligence so I'm better equipped to care for them - and they for me, I suppose. Any good resources on Malawis would be a big help.

Actually I'm leaning more towards african cichlids, Malawi's in particular have really caught my eye.

I'm getting back into the hobby after keeping some Oscars and Firemouths as a kid. I've recently set up a 75-gallon tank with some danios, tetras, and plants to get things going.

I've got a couple of questions about getting started with cichlids, specifically in a geneflake setup.
1. How long ...

I've never dripped mine, but I'm hearing a lot of good reasons to start. My tank's at 76°F, pH 7.3, and they're with some Cherry Barbs. Maybe I'll try it next time.
