blueether Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Don't have any experiences with cichlids, but if I was to do a cichlid setup I think I would go SA and these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wee2 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hey jckingjc tht a nice 800lt u got there, was tht the one selling on trademe that was sitting on a trailer back about 1 year ago? There was that one was going for real cheap no1 keen on it because it massive size!! What sizes is that tank? big humphead, mysery colour, extended dorsel fin and solid body.. etc that is why I like A/S. cichlid. not abt the size! Frondosa and Tilapia buttikoferi are only Africans I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 My favorite african is the alkaline tilapia would love to do a biotope for them , pH 9.5-10.0, temp 40-50 degrees with lotsa cyanobacteria & spirulina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good books or web pages you would rec? hey, my opinion is :cofn: for the same size of tank, you can keep more Africans than S.As. :cofn: for the colouratin, African do brigther and multiple colours than S/A cichlid but less mysterious :cofn: for the aggression, A/S Ameriman Cichlids are the real preds :cofn: for the size of he fish, you will found the delight of keeping your fish rise up to large size gives you overall achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well I am still confused but have enjoyed reading the posts and other topics. Any good books or web pages you would rec? Knowing the size of your tank will be a big help in recommending possible species. But if you're interested in cichlids then monsterfishkeepers.com and cichlid-forum.com are both good places to start browsing. Be warned tho that you are likely to end up feeling jealous when you discover all the fantastic species available overseas that we can't get here. As for books, if you want a "catalogue" of cichlids with pretty pictures and names then the AquaLog books are really good. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_ ... g+cichlids again, same problem as foreign websites, most of the really pretty stuff you won't find here...

Navarre Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have found both the catalogue and the forums on cichlid forum to be very helpful great pictures and articles in the profiles area hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 +1 for www.cichlid- forum.com awesome site with heaps of info but as said bear in mind we don't have and can't get the majority of fish they do! Really need to know what size tank (dimensions) you are goin to get before we can really help. At the moment it's just a squabble over who is better than who as far as cichlids go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
