Re: free cichlids available

I'm shocked, not a single response. I'd have gladly taken them in if I wasn't all the way in the States. What's going on, folks? Don't we care about these fish? They're counting on us for a new home. Sent from my SM-G730V using Tapatalk

Snails can be manually removed or I've found that keeping fisher1 loaches in my tanks does the trick ...
