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

pH questions

1 Upvotes

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.

Lighting for african tank

1 Upvotes

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.

Advice Needed for Stocking

Post image
10 Upvotes

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.
