    Mbuna With Internal Parasites?

    Can't you just advise me what to get at lfs? Or will they not have at lfs? Also I have noticed my male pseudo aurora aka bully rubbing against rocks 2 or 3 times, he does have spots on his tail and the end of his dorsal but they appear to be slightly blue and in a pattern.

    6x2x2 What Do You Think

    Pseudo acei are nice and very gentle from my experience they grow a bit bigger than most mbuna but it won't be a problem with this tank size. I personnally really like these guys - mine has grown like crazy since I got him. Rocks always help :rolleyes: With africans aggression can get pretty...

    6x2x2 What Do You Think

    I wouldn't do the kingsizei or the elongatus mpanga because pseudotropheus can get pretty mean. Also unless you know which are male which are female - pretty much impossible at juvenile state I would be getting groups of 8+ of each species.

    My Fishes Are Acting Weird On My Tank.

    I wouldn't use those hydrometers because they have a reputation for not being the most accurate and they can get stuck to the side of your tank and give weird readings. Your salinity should be about 1.024 or around there, yes you can turn off the lights but the lights should be on for 10-12...

    Lights ?

    It should be okay although some freshwater fish do better if they don't have really excessive lighting, maybe don't use all the bulbs or you could buy another low watt tube (not very expensive just don't buy at lfs) Wait for 3rd opinion lol.
