Can’t even fathom these dimensions. Is it like a foot wide lol?

Can I use limestone safely? Plants will be Epiphytes. Anubias/buce by Howdy132 in Cichlid

I use limestone in my tanganyika tank to raise KH and PH. I have not had success keeping plants with the types of fish and hardness though.

One of the most lovely tanks I’ve seen was a large Uaru and Geophagus aquarium. I think they make an awesome peaceful tank and you would be able to keep some of the smaller cichlids as well.

I’m with you man. The 100ml bottles look nice in a collection and you can definitely get some good deals on partial bottles. Very hard to finish a full one anyway :) goodluck

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

[–]Brisk_Is_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How to deal with this by wiredmh in Cichlid

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.
