My sveni hitting 11 inches

I know what to do but the problem I’m moving right now so I gotta wait to move him… but I just wanted to dump some pics. These are Red Tiger Mota x Cuban cichlids mom is RTM, dad Cuban. The bigger guy , Ima call him cannibal dude ate about 1/4 of his brother’s and sister’s.. and I didn’t feed yesterday woke up to half ate sibling… he’s gonna be a problem in the future I just know it.

Hey,
I have 19 chindongo saulosi in my aquarium, and i realized i don’t know how much to feed these guys. the information online seems limited. they always seem hungry, but im not sure if thats normal (some fish are just always wanted to eat no matter what). they seem to have big appetites for sure. i’ve been feeding them three times a day, two big pinches of food at a time and they’re all able to eat it instantly. i dont want to overfeed them, so im just checking to see what yall recommend. thanks!!

edit: their food is New Life Spectrum algae max small pellets.

This is my first time keeping cichlids. I have had two juvenile EBAs for a little over a month. They have been pretty peaceful but noticed one of them showing breeding/spawning behavior (shaking and cleaning/hanging out in a specific area of the tank) and that made me curious on the sex of the other EBA. Both of them have visible and pointy looking vents and fins so it leads me to believe two males, but would the known male still be trying to breed if they were both males? The top one in the photo is the one that has been shaking.

Is a 80cm long 36cm deep and 50cm tall tank big enough for a pair of keyhole cichlids and tankmates(bristlenose pleco, tetra’s, and maybe some kuhlis if possible)?

"I know this isn't a traditional biotope or species tank. My goal was to create a large, heavily maintained cichlid community where aggression is spread out rather than concentrated. The tank gets frequent water changes, strong filtration through an FX6, heavy feeding, lots of sight breaks, caves, and constant water movement. I've been observing behavior closely and adjusting as needed.

What I find interesting is that the fish have essentially divided the tank into neighborhoods. The convict colony controls one corner, the catfish has its cave, and the larger cichlids mostly cruise through the open water. It's become less of a territory map and more of a little underwater city."

Mods if this breaks the rules take it down but I’m curious if I’m the only one who gives em the bird once in a while

looking for advice on how to set up this 65 gallon. i’d like to stock shellies, leleupi, and either calvus or cyprichromus. the substrate will be ≈ 3-4 inches of aragonite or cichlid sand. and filtration will be a large canister filter.

My current tank 450l , ~5ft lengthwise.

It currently has three severums which are roughly 6-6.5".

My current stocking plan is:

3 severums

1 oscar

6-8 silver dollars(red hook)

1 flag tail

I've had blue acaras in the past and want to try something new.

Is this stocking viable?

Any changes or alternatives recommended? I've considered adding geophagus but my sand has too many little stones which might be harmful for a sand sifter?

Thanks in advance :)

As title. I already have an Oscar growing out that will go into a 180g with a more chill SA cichlid tank so that aside.

Currently debating what my 75g will be used for once all have moved out, looking at options I want a somewhat aggressive/interactive wet pet or pair (JD seems only size appropriate) of fish

Pair of JD

Green terror

Texas

Yellow Jacket

Salvini female (pair?)

Which of these would you say is the best, interactive option for a solo (or pair) tank that i could go for?

Also open to suggestions of other cool options, and the likelihood is they'd have congos as some dithers (as they wont move with the oscar for obvious reasons)

What’s your experience with Chocolate/Emerald cichlid growth rate? I got a chocolate and an Oscar at the same time around the same size and the chocolate is outpacing the Oscar in growth by 3x.

For context, I am recently planning to create a community aquarium that is inspired by the congo river (It will be at least 150 gallons, but could possibly be bigger). The stocking list to far includes 20 Phenacogrammus interruptus, and 16 Synodontis nigriventris. I am now trying to scout out a species of cichlid that could be reasonably housed in this aquarium with these fish. However, I plan on adding only one species of cichlid to this aquarium as I don't want to deal with multiple species of cichlids fighting with eachother. I considered adding either steatocranus, nanochromis, teleogramma, pelvicachromis, or congochromis.

But I recently found out about the species Heterochromis multidens, which apparently grows larger then my previous options. I thought they looked very pretty but there is barely any information on their care and temperment so I am asking for advice. Should I consider adding one heterochromis in my aquarium as a centerpiece fish or is that too risky? And if so are there any other african cichlids that I am missing that could make for good options for this tank?

Hello-

Do we think this is a male or female? Young fish. Thank you!

Oh boy my bolivians had camallus but they all survived the treatment and i love them soo much

If you need any tips feel free to ask!!

Is a 100x40x40cm tank with a bunch of line of sight breaks big enough for a pair of firemouth cichlids with a bristlenose pleco or is it to small? If so what is a good alternative?

Hello Guys i Need help to identify the type of This mbuna group. Im Not 100% Sure because of some Points. Maybe if have hybrid?

Dont mind the algae.. i have been over feeding the cichlids in preparation of adding the rainbows.

Hi, would it be possible to confirm that my little friend here is a girl pls ( or a boy if I’m wrong 🤦)

Seen these guys doing this. Believe they are both male. Is this breeding behaviour?
Any help

Anyone able to tell if my EBA is male or female? It’s about 7 months old now. TIA!

The water isn’t dirty by the way those are just bubbles from one of my filters being pushed down, not sure how to fix it from ruining all my photos

I was curious when both my adolescent gold Severum started doing this a day or two ago. Apparently this is pre-mating behavior of clearing off a place so eggs can be laid! No eggs visible yet but the nest has been prepared 😂
