I have a 90 gal tank with about 20 various varities of africans. I have noticed that 4 of them have not been eating for about 7 days or more and their bellies are bulging. I have not had any breeding for about a year. Not sure what is happening. Is this an intestinal problem or something in the water that a water test can verify?
I have an African Cichlids, but so some reasons she is head down in the tank . And I dont know why ? Is she sick ? She is just face first into the pebbles, but she is still breathing ??
Thanks
I just bought some african cichlids, and forgot to ask if I need to use regular or salt water.
Any help?
Hello i was wondering if i can mix African Cichlids and aggrassive sharks together in the same 66 gallon tank??
One of two of my fish is extremely bloated and changed color from gold to white salmon color. Is it dying or pregnant? what should we do?
I have about 16 African Cichlids in a 72 gallon tank and they all seem to be very happy. However, one of my bigger ones has been hanging out at the very top of the water and appears to look pregnant. Im not sure if it is but if so is this normal? And if its not pregnant does this activity mean that my fish is getting ready to die?
I have a 125 gal tank with a sump and bioballs. It has quite a few africans of diffrent specis of all sizes. They are doing well enoguh to breed but I have a probelm with the older larger ones dieing. Last month I lost one and this month two. My ph is about 7.8 and ammonia and nitrite are at 0. Feed tetra color flakes and do monthly water changes. Any idea why my older ones are dieing off?
Hi,
My fish tank broke at 2:00 am. We put each one of the fish in a big bowl, at 10:00 am took them to a frind house she got her fish out and dompt them in.
After that all died with in an hour!!
WHY?
Thanks
I have a 75 gal. tank, and I’m having a hard time with the PH So I am going to try Cichlids. Plus I am an over the road truckdriver. How will this affect having this type tank?
I am looking to add fish to my aquarium currently occupied by a RES Turtle (Red Ear Slider) are Cichlids too aggressive to home with a turtle?
thanks,
Mike

I actually have some great experience having a large oscar fish and a red eared slider living together. Basically what is going to happen is that as the RES grows big he’ll want to try and eat the fish…but as long as your turtles are small and the fish are big they should be fine. At the moment I have a big Red Zebra Cichlid with 4 RES turtles in a tank together, basically they leave eachother alone. The turtles are tiny, like the size of a silver dollar and my cichlid will bump and push them if they happen to wander into the cichlids territory…got my turtles at: http://turtleshack.com …great place for baby res turtles!
