We actually went out and bought some frozen Krill and he loves it! :wub:

Actually we purchased these from our LFS. They were all in tanks that were labeled assorted Africans, thats why we were asking if anyone knew about them. I have done many hours research in books and the internet trying to find these species. As far as Peacocks not being aggressive, thats a...

We have tried sinking pellets, frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, shredded cooked shrimp (from the market), flakes... literally everything but the kitchen sink. We have read they like to eat live foods (fish) at dusk. What kind of live fish that is available at most LFS should we feed him...

Thanks to all the fabulous information we have received here at TFF, we have really learned alot about our cichlids. We have decided to change our setup to a more natural setup. We washed our sand and put it in the tank, unfortunately the water has become very cloudy. We were wondering should we...

:huh: Learning something new everyday!

It never ends with this tank! we have treated our african tank 2 times now for parasites. we used parasite clear the first time and parasite guard the second time. Our cichlids are still rubbing on everything. Its not all the time and they show no signs of any of the parasites I have looked up...

ok thanks.....

So I've wanted a Frontosa for a while now. I'm new to the Cichlid world and am still learning. I finally bought one early last week and unknowingly put him in my 55 gallon african tank. I was then informed that he was not a good tankmate since I have all Malawi's. So I took him and my...

alright, thanks for the info......

Great thanks....how do you recommend washing it?? Also, is it ok to go down to the local river and get some rocks for my re-design?? If so, how can I be sure to kill any parasites that are on them??

I currently have gravel in my tank. I have since learned that my cichlids may prefer sand. What kind of sand is safe to use in my tank?? Can I buy playground sand at Home Depot or do I need to buy aquarium sand?? Please help!!!

My fish aren't getting along....I just went out and purchased a C. Frontosa yesterday, which I have wanted forever, brought him home and introduced him (or her) to my african cichlid tank. Bottom line, they are not getting along. I don't know if they're threatened by him or what but he was not...

What is the difference from a "Hap" and a "Mbuna" and a "Lab"? Are they mixable in aquariums or do they come from different lakes? Does anyone have any good websites or books that we could read up on and perhaps start to understand the Cichlid World. We have been to a million websites on the...

my betta lives with 2 fiddler crabs and a red crab and one neon tetra in a 5gallon tank. They all are doing fine so far... but I agree save your 16 gallon for some community fishies.

Who would have guessed that fish could be so stressful! :rolleyes: That is our plan for the oscars, GT, JD and Pacu. VEry expensive hobby. Thanks for your help we are trying to get pics of all our pets to put up.

We are in way over our heads. My boyfriend is obsessed. I swear in a year we will have to spend 2 grand on new tank setups. We have in our 55 gallon- -African Cichlids: Peacock, Red Zebra, Albino Zebra, Electric Yellow, Spotted Zebra, Bumblebee, Male and Female Kenyi, Livingstoni, Brichardi...

Hi all... we are in a bit of a pickle. :crazy: We have a 55 gallon with African Cichlids(including a male and female kenyi) and 2 South Americans. We just added a Frontosa today and we feel that the male kenyi is singleing him out and fighting with him, more so than the others. We have also...
