Christopher V wants to know:


I can’t figure out what is making my cichlids sick, but they are dying off. They have stopped eating and hide. In the end it looks like their intestines are coming out of their butt. Malawi type. Any ideas what is making them sick? What kind of medicine should I treat with? In a hospital tank? What about my tank, do I have to treat that because of possible reinfections?

Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated

I’d like to start my first cichlid fish tank. I have a 12 gallon aquarium. Are there any small cichlid species that are good beginner fish that will work?

I have a twenty gallon tank with two yellow labs (one is about 2 inches, the other is about 3), and I was thinking about adding another cichlid… What kind of cichlid would be good with my two labs? Thanks.

Bobby wants to know:


what type of cichlid would you recommend for a 20 gallon tank with 3 apple snails, 5 zebra snails, 3 japanese trapdoor snails, 2 cory cats and 3 oto cats? Is there a small species good for community that are compatible with those? They must be good in hard water too.
okay, those need acidic water though. I need a species that is good in alkaline water, hard water.

I have peacock cichlids, convict cichlids, and other assorted cichlids living in a 55 gallon aquarium. They are not too big yet, probably a little smaller than the parrot cichlids I have seen in stores. Would parrot cichlids get along with the cichlids I currently have?

I just want one pair, and i am not keeping the fry. I know i need a heater and filter. Whats the right temperature for breeding thm?

Thanks!
Also, could the pet store order a pair or do i have to get about 4 and grow them and see who pairs off?
Is it ok if they are siblings?

I have a 55 Gallon Tank. I am wanting to redo my tank. I would order the African Cichlids online where they would be overnighted. I am just curious because I don’t want to spend a ton of money, and they kill each other.
