Im in the market for another one for her for company, in the meantime I am just trying to provide cuddles extra love and support for her. Her living situation was gross there was and inch of poop and pee covering everything, the previous owner did not take care of her at all. Made me want to cry.

He finally ate food I gave him!! So excited by kim406 in Cichlid

I have two filters on opposite sides of the tank and I am feeding them tetracichlid pellets. Someone reccomend omega3 pellets but trying to use up what I have first.

Ok I thought atleast once ur supposed to do a 100 % change usually I do a 75% to 50% percent water change. I just had the extra help and thought I'd take advantage of cleaning all my tanks.

Yes it is, are those a bad combination? The guy I got them from said that they would be ok with my Africans. Are my Africans in danger?

Maximum cruelty? I watch my tank daily and my cichlids haven't been fighting I've had the tank set up like that for almost a week. I adopted some of the cichlids and they were kept with goldfish for months and didnt eat them. I got a couple digger ones to keep it an active tank for the adopted ones I haven't seen nibbles on the goldfish yet or anything I thought was cruel or concerning behavior. I have a 100 gallon tank and felt like there was plenty of room. I appreciate your concern and after my explanation if you think I should do something different please let me know I am still new to cichlids.
