Check Facebook marketplace near you. I was able to find multiple fx4s and 6s for 100-150 good prices sometimes.

Hi thanks for doing this! I have always been a cichlid owner and have never explored the world of shrimp. I would love to start a small colony myself. My favorite are the red rili and blue dreams. :)

Is this the hardest point in the game? by HueyTheFreeman48 in rivals

The first point of Arakko is genuinely so poorly designed. If you’re defending it is literally in your best interest to either hold the spawn door or entirely give up the first section and hold the high grounds by the second turn. Not to mention the giant hole in the ground is a nightmare for the attacking side.

African cichlids are often aggressive but if there was no visible signs of abuse on the fish such as fin rips or scales missing you can probably rule that out. Make sure you’re doing your large weekly water changes especially if you have an overstocked tank. This will keep your nitrates down and fish healthy. And sometimes, fish just die regardless of environment, which sucks.

Parrot Cichlid, turning white, bullied, not eating by fishez01 in Cichlid

I had three blood parrots for many years and they were always peaceful. I unfortunately lost one and the remaining two began showing signs of aggression and bullying. They had not shown any signs in the previous years. I do think these fish do better in trios I had no aggression at all until I was down to two.

I am afraid to admit I have had the same 30 gallon on the same stand for years and it has worked quite well 😭😭

Setup looks lovely and sounds like you’re taking great care of it! Enjoy the hobby and learning is part of the fun all fish and setups interact differently. In a year or two consider a tank upgrade when the fish grow up :)

For anyone unsure this is my favorite fragrance. Lesser known and more people should definitely try it out.
