I'm a lover of African cichlids in which I have a 65-gallon tank of them , a 40-gallon community tank, and also a discus tank. Let's just say that this pandemic got me into loving fish a lot more. Also, your videos are amazing and very informative.

[@user-kg5vd6ri5b]

How do I find like the hardness in the softness of the water? Also how often should i feed them? Sorry last question how often should i do water changes

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

You need a test kit or the a report from your city about your source water

[@sureshmahatheva1732]

hi nice tank. do you have lid for your tank, im thinking to set up one. but my tank is open top. thats why im asking you.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I’ve kept both. For saltwater tanks I typically do open tanks with mesh covers. For freshwater it’s either open top or glass lids. Many freshwater community fish are too small for mesh covers and can jump right through them. If it’s a planted tank - I’ll keep the tank open for the gas exchange. You have to top off more with an open top, but you have less of a risk of jump with a heavily planted tank over a non planted one.

[@crownalgodoo8095]

will frontosas and Nyereri fight? theyre my two favorite cichlids

[@tsonlinestore4023]

Setting up an African Cichlid tank requires careful consideration and attention to detail. These colorful and fascinating fish thrive in specific conditions and require proper tank setup to recreate their natural habitat. From choosing the right substrate and rocks to creating the perfect water parameters, a well-planned setup ensures the health and happiness of these beautiful creatures. By following expert advice and guidelines, you can create an attractive and thriving African Cichlid tank that showcases the beauty of this unique fish species.

[@assassincorners5813]

Can i use a 20 gallon tank while they are still small (3 - 4 inches)? And i have only 4 cichild right now

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Likely no - The best cichlids for that size would be shelling dwelling types, but you already have 4 cichlids.

[@jeffdanica1972]

can we put driftwood in cichlids aquarium?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

You can, but you have to monitor your pH because the driftwood will lower the pH and soften the water. One thing you can do is purchase artificial driftwood that won't alter the water chemistry. However, you will still need to watch for fish that dig and them getting injured from the edges of the wood. This is generally why african cichlid keeps avoid them.
