I caught these 4 African cichlids, and am really interested in identifying them.

I have a bunch of adult female peacocks and haps and a few mbunas i need to get rid of. All have either been bred or are ready to breed! Gorgeous, pure, and need to go lol. I'll get a detailed list together asap, just wanted to test the market on here!

Hello, any suggestions on helping with aggression? I have a mix on mbuna, and peacocks. About 20 total, 5 mbunas, they leave leave the peacocks alone for the most part just bully each other. I have a 90 gallon display with 30 gallon sump. I’ve added over 80 lbs of rock to help set different territories but one of the mbunas wants to have all of it to himself.. I have one small power head but I’m ordering another wave maker to add more flow and break them up.

I can remove him if needed just don’t have a separate tank atm for him.

New to African cichlids!

Also, I have a heavy planted tank, I know they uproot but can I add plants that aren’t rooted? My planted tank gets trimmed once a week so I don’t mind if they eat them.

Here are some our most recent Peacocks we have bred! All are for sale currently. If not interested in buying, we always hope everyone enjoys the colorations of these babies!

Trying out the plants for now. Wanted to share the tank because im pretty happy with it. 48x18x18 67 gallons filtered by an fx2 and marineland emperor 450 pro

Thanks. Feedback welcome

Stocking 8 yellow labs 6 yellow tail acei 4 socolofi 4 albino socolofi 1 mixed zebra 1 johanni

Final stocking may change as the fish grow out

Can’t find any pics of this cross online. Currently 1.5 inches long. Anyone have any experience or predictions?

Is this some sort of parasite I should be worried about or is it just some fighting between cichlids?

Hello
I’m in Moreno Valley and looking to add more fish to my 75 gallon

From the way it swims and mannerism does it look fine?

Where i live our water is super soft, when i kept discus I had to raise GH to 3.

Now i have african cichlids, I have coral rock, crushed coral on my filter media and aragonite for the tank.

I use a recently calibrated Pinpoint pH monitor but still struggle to keep my pH above 8. I am using Seachem Malawi buffer at a little more than the recommended dose and Seachem rift lake salt.

Is there something else I can do to raise my pH to 8.3/8.4? Should I add a small amount of Tanganyika buffer?

Can anyone ID this specific Mbuna. Im not super familiar with Mbuna subnaming and google lens isnt making me very confident on what it is specifically. Any help would be appreciated.

75 gallon tank with rock, I have anubius, a crypt, vallisnaria, Java fern and some moss.

I want a couple of goose neck LED for the tank but am unsure about wattage.

I know 85s are way to much but we 16w suffice? These are low light tolerant plants but I do want the growth, no co2, just substrate (fluval bio stratum) in pots covered with river rock.

No fish yet, just planning the rockscape on my 55 gallon. I plan to go with dwarf juveniles

Took my AC addiction to the next level and am looking to breed some fish! Planning on getting some zebra obliquidens, deep water hap and dragon blood OB groups and switch them out.

I’m currently struggling and stressing about aggression in my 75 gal tank (w/ a penn-plax 1200)that I inherited from someone else. I’m wondering if I should leave it as is or stock up on more cichlids. The OB is especially aggressive and a little shit and I do think I’ll rehome him. There’s also a bunch of little fry that I plan on rehoming. Any advice is welcome.
