Who Gives A Fish Forums

It's always a relief when they finally get along. Are you using any specific food to bond them? I've heard live brine shrimp can be a peace offering.

I'll definitely check out the Rift Lake conditioner, I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere, just can't recall if it was at the store or when I was browsing on Zorchzon.

Colin, just to clarify, I don't have any rams in my tank, I'm actually planning on getting some in the future for a different tank. I've moved my Africans to a new 36 bow front and so far, they seem to be loving it - the new substrate with sand, gravel, and shells is a hit. As for the pH, it's ...

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, got caught up in the 4th of July celebrations. I didn't have a test for GH or KH, but I plan to grab one this week when I'm out getting supplies. I had picked up the API master kit last time I was there, but I didn't realize I needed the others since my previous fish ...

Thanks so much, your advice is super helpful. You're like a total expert on this stuff, I really appreciate it.

Hey guys, so I've got my cichlids waiting to move into their new 20g home and last night was water change night. I took my readings beforehand and noticed my nitrates were a bit high, plus I saw a trace of nitrite. So I decided to do a pretty much full tank change - I was planning to switch from ...

I'm starting to think, what if that mystery fish is a hybrid? I mean, I just can't seem to find anything that matches his coloring, stripe pattern, or even head shape - he's really one of a kind. And despite being around the kenyi, he holds his own pretty well, which is pretty cool.

I was really hoping for rams, I thought they'd be a better fit since they're not as aggressive, but these African cichlids stole my heart, and my son's. Plus, they were a bit cheaper, which is a huge bonus considering all the money I've spent lately. If I can find some rams or less aggressive fish ...

I'm still stumped on the mystery guy, but I checked again and no dip in the head. I also remembered the shop had a cichlid with yellow and black horizontal lines, so I'm thinking that's a no-go for me. I was browsing online and the zebras don't really resemble my guy, so I'm back to square one. I ...

Colin, that's genius - I'm loving the idea of double-tier stands, and I'm definitely considering it. I'm still learning, but it seems I've got a knack for picking the feisty ones. I'm a bit curious, though - should I be worried about the acei? I've read they're generally more chill than the kenyi ...
