Who Gives A Fish Forums

I get my water tested weekly at the local fish shop after each water change. I'm saving up to get a bigger tank, hopefully a 300l one, it'll be better for the cichlids.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll rehome one of the cichlids to my dad's 300l tank, he's got the space for it. I'll keep the other one for now and plan on getting a bigger tank in a few months, then I can get a few more cichlids to keep it company.

I didn't think it would be an issue as the peacocks tend to grow slightly bigger than the mbuna, but I was just going off what I read online and the pet shop didn't specify the exact types of cichlids I had.

I've taken the redtail shark out, just thought it best for the cichlids. I have a bigger tank elsewhere for the shark, it's a better fit. The cichlids are only 1 and a half inch max, they're my favourites, so I'll keep them on their own.

Hi there, the water was tested and they said it was fine for both, but to be honest I don't remember the exact readings. I've got a 100l tank at the moment, but I'm planning to upgrade later on. I've got a peacock cichlid and a mauna cichlid, they've grown up together, but they'll be moving to a ...

I got 2 inch redtail shark and 2 1 inch african cichlids, they're quite a size difference, will my redtail shark bully the african cichlids since he's much larger
