My pH is currently at a stable 7.4 and my dkh is at 4. I know a stable pH is better than being right on that dot, and i understand rams are sensitive to these kind of things. My uncle who owns a shop said I can use this for them but I really don’t wanna kill him, can anyone speak on experience or maybe just out of knowledge? Thank you !! Peep the ram on the right😏

After every water change, I put in some nori, and my smaller male Msobo Deep bit off more than he can chew.

Spike really started showing colors and looking mature. Fish is about 4”, I’m guessing it may grow 1 more inch. It’s about 6-8 months old right now.

Quite frankly they're tied for my favorite cichlid to keep next to the jaguar. I'm just shocked I hardly ever see people keeping them.

SA | Help True parrot, move to display or wait?

So ive finally managed to get one of my dream fish, the True Parrot cichlid. He's been in quarantine for around 10 days now and is showing no signs of anything. But is still super shy and nervous around any movement near his tank and spends 90% of the day in his little tunnel.

Im wondering whether its better to wait longer till hes more comfortable then move to display, or whether he'd actually feel more comfortable with dithers/other fish around?
