    I had a pair of convict cichlids and recently my female passed away. She was around 6 years old and has had countless spawns of fry. So now I have a single male and don't want to get another female and deal with the constant hatching of fry. I was thinking maybe getting a school of some sort of...

    Hey, I bought a 45 gallon off of somebody a week ago, the price was perfect for everything, tank, stand, filter, heater etc. It also included the fish, 2 Frontosa Cichlids, 1 Convict Cichlid and 1 common Pleco. Upon research I noticed that neither the Frontosa nor the Pleco are supposed to be...

    The Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) is probably the easiest cichlid to maintain and breed. In fact, due to their small size ( 3-4 inches / 7.6 - 10 cm ), hardy, adaptable nature, and ease of breeding, this fish is probably the ideal cichlid for anyone that is taking their first steps into...

    Its been to long since I realized what happened to my cichlid, I should have took it into more concern when I saw color drained from her, and instead I changed her food and thought it would help. Then a week later she suddenly inflated tripling her size, I was to much of a fool to buy her...

    Hey guys, recently got a 100 gallon fisk tank for the family. I'd like to stock the tank with 5 fish, one for each member of the family, cichlids ideally but I'm open to other options.
