Re: Made my decision


I think you'll be alright with those choices, though I've got a soft spot for the yellow labs - they're a lot more laid-back than the rest of the crew. They might get a bit of a rough ride, though.

From what I've seen, the dividers and all that don't really make a difference. The thing with Mbuna ...

Re: Made my decision


Considering your species list, I was wondering if you're thinking of adding some dwarf petricola snails to the mix? I've been eyeing a trio of them for my own setup.


I'm having a bit of a dilemma with the rock setup. I bought some fake rocks a while back and I'm quite happy with the layout ...

Yeah, hopefully - most Petricola species have been reclassified as Lucipinnis, which is pretty similar. Polli sp. white is also a ...

Re: Made my decision

I don't know a lot about cichlids, but I'm glad you've finally got a plan in place.

Made my decision

I've finally got my chance to set up my 300 litre, 4 foot tank after waiting for the building renovations to finish. No more delays, I'm excited to get going. Initially, I did consider a massive 1000 litre, 8 foot tank but the cost was too high for me to justify, especially with the 12-week build ...

Re: A male peacock in a 75-gallon hap tank

It's quite surprising how quiet the Malawi scene is, isn't it?

A male peacock in a 75-gallon hap tank

I've got a 75 gallon tank that's ready to set up, and I've been thinking of doing a Centflake American tank, but after setting up an Mbuna tank in my other 75, I'm leaning more towards sticking with Malawis - just something a bit different. I've kept Americans for ages, maybe 10-15 years, and I'm ...

Re: identifying cichlids and determining tank size

I'm so envious, haha. That's a great find, and the fact that the breeder is relatively close to you is a bonus. I hadn't realized that the YouTube channel was based in Sweden, but now I'm glad I shared it with you. I think it would be worth the trip to visit the breeder, considering the variety of ...

Re: identifying cichlids and determining tank size

I've had a change of heart - thanks to you, I've gone from wanting a single species tank of Msobo Magunga to considering 3 groups of them plus a group of Socolofi. But then I stumbled upon that awesome white fin Acei video and now I'm hooked on them. The problem is, three species won't cut it ...
