pauagecko Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi Everyone I'm new to this forum, have had tropical fish all my life, but have decided to get my first african chichlids aquarium. So, pretty new to this where would be the best place in Auckland to buy chichlids from. I was thinking of starting off slow, getting about 5 to start from, and I'm pretty keen on the convicts Any advice from anyone would be appreciated Many thanks Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 hi and welcome. what size tank are you going to keep them in? Convicts aren't africans but do well with them all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 There are a number of African cichlid enthusiasts in Auckland so I am sure they can help you. It is important to have a tank large enough for them as they are very territorial. It is also important to make sure you do not mix the wrong species as many are not compatible.

Chris H Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 be careful with convicts they breed like mad and protect thier young so many of them survive theres a reason why some petshops dont carry them but they are very cool fish to have theres people selling them from $1 each on trade me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
