Just because the water they are being kept in has a high ph does not mean it's not freshwater :screwy:

The pH level has absolutely nothing to do with salt content of the water. African cichlids are freshwater fish.

Drip acclimate them very slowly and you should be fine.

No but it has to do with the acids in the water... I will try drip accumulating

Do you seriously think it isn't freshwater just because of the pH level?
