cichlids

Hi, I have a quick question. So I have a 6in female Flowerhorn that lays eggs non-stop alone in her tank. I'm thinking about getting her a Male Aztec Carpintis....will they breed? Also will I have to put a divider up even though it's not a male Flowerhorn?

I have recently noticed my Blood Parrot (female ~6") and Texas cichlid(male ~7") burrowing a cave under a rock, however when I looked into my tank this morning there were at least 300 fry swimming with them. I took out the fry and put them into a 10 gallon for now. Anyone know what these guys be...

Hey guys, I am always torn where to post my images on MFK: here or on the Rift Lake Cichlid Forum. This is one of my favorite images of Palau that I wanted to share it with you all too... And, while I am at it, here's another too... Hope you like. Russ

So this morning i woke up to 3 out of my 4 alunacaras died at the bottom of the tank, and i have no clue as to what happened. I can't see the 4th and i don't know where the tropheus is. Both haps are currently alive. In terms of the tank, there was 4 alunacara, 1 tropheus, 4 corys and a plec...

Hello all, I'm a returning member of MFK and getting back into the hobby after a little hiatus. I've discovered that some of my go-to breeders are now out of the hobby. Just wondering if anyone can recommend any in the Detroit area / lower Michigan. I'm mostly looking for African cichlids. I...

So i recently lost 5 little african cichlids from a heater malfunction while I was at work. :c A few days later, I came across this beautiful Acara Cichlid. She (I'm assuming) was in a tank with another about a qautar of her size living peacefully. I selected to only get her, since I only have a...

What do you guys think about Northfin? I know it may not be the most readily available food on the market but it's been out a while and don't hear much about it, except when i do it's all good for Northfin. I myself have been using Northfin for awhile after moving from Hikarii and I can say...

I have read a few posts on here about lighting and I am wondering if anyone has an suggestions on lighting for a 150 gallon cichlid tank that is about 30" deep. I am currently running T8's but have been considering switching to LED's. I know there are so many different options for lighting...

Good afternoon everyone, I'm new here, and I'm curious as to what you all would recommend with a 5in Jack Dempsey. I believe i've read around enough that they can be somewhat aggressive / territorial, so i'm working on getting some hiding places/caves for him and would love to build the...

Good morning. In my quest to find nice stocking for a 250L tank I am getting in less than a month and I don't think an African oddball tank would work for me. So I have decided to look into discus and some other things. The tank is a 4ft 250L long tank that will have a double DIY canister...
