Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hi colR, love the pic, guessing you're into bikes, but back to the topic. The female krib in my friend's tank has a lovely pink belly, but she had it when she bought the pair, so not sure if she'd lose that or not, still looks great though.

I had a pair of kribs a while back, the LFS said they'd be ...

Will pass on the info to my friend, sounds like the female krib should be fine on her own, thanks for the advice.

Hi colR and tcamos, looks like you're following each other around, lol. My friend's tank has heaps of plants and caves, she's got plenty of places to hide in and out, seems happy for now, but I know some fish just aren't suited to being alone, so we'll keep an eye on her and see how it goes. Always ...

My friend recently got a pair of kribs and the male was a right handful, attacking her cories and even killing one. She ended up taking him back to the lfs, but she's kept the female as she seems fine and isn't showing any aggression towards the other fish.

The thing is, is it okay to keep a young ...

Hi Brkento4
Thanks for the advice, I'm having second thoughts about the change now, Fawni's made me think. What about the filter size though, that's the bit that's putting me off, it's already in my sideboard and there's no room for a bigger one, height wise.

Hi everyone
Thinking of making the switch to cichlids only in my tank and I'd love some advice first.
I've got a 4ft, 240lt tank with cichlid substrate already in place.
My filter's an external fluval 306 - would I need to upgrade or could I get away with cleaning it every fortnight instead of ...

Hi, I'm really keen on having a cichlid-only tank, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of my cories, they're part of the family. I've got my keyholes and I love them, so I'm looking for a cichlid that'll get along with them and the cories. My tank's not massive, 180lt and 38 inches long, but it ...

I appreciate your input on this, it's good to know the lfs were giving genuine advice rather than trying to make a sale.
Since getting my keyholes, I've really taken a liking to cichlids and I'd love to add another type to the tank, something with a bit of colour would be great.
I'm open to ...

Hi got answer all ok except neptunes, they can be a bit nippy and might not get on with the regal peacock, rest of the fish seem fine though.

Hi, I was in the LFS shop and they had these lovely yellow regal peacocks for sale, they said they're fine for a peaceful community tank as long as I only have one. I'd love to get one, but I'm not sure if it'll fit in with my other fish, so thought I'd ask for advice before I make another mistake ...
