Thanks for looking!

so i started with my flower horn, i had him for about 4 months now. it got kinda boringg so i decided to do a african cichlid tank. starting off small for now. might move them to my 75 later on.


If there are any suggestions you guys have for me, please let me know!

You're going to need to upgrade to a larger tank before too long. That many in a 29 is going to be bad news before you know it.

they grow fast! bigger tank with more filtration!

[Kenniebird]

maybe.

andy from fish land told me my 29 was gonna be ok for up to 6 months. he told me these fish grow only up to 4-5 inch. sometimes, rarely 6 inch. thanks for the heads up though. i still got my 75 =D

[Fire_chair]

UP TO 6 months. You'll need a larger tank before then.

when i had africans they where full grown in a month and a half.

I'm pretty sure that those were already full grown when you bought them.

[zerocool]

they weren't fry but they where around 1" and grew to over 4".

[Kenniebird]

yea, mine are about 1 inch each. but i think i probably will have to move them to my 75g before 6 months. they eat like crazy.

[supadave]

they eat like crazy.

Yeah...I've never seen one that was full. Always hungry...even right after you feed them.

Btw...the tank looks really good.

i used to put at least 100 ghost shrimp im my tank once a week, but i started out with like 20-30. every other week i would but 10-20 rosies in there and they would swallow them hole. the shrimp lasted about two day and the rosies would last about 4.

[Kenniebird]

oh. i dont feed my fish rosies anymore. ever since i heard all the bad things that can happen. and yeah man theyre still hungry after i feed them. they even eat the plecos wafers

[Kenniebird]

thanks bro.

go ahead and put those africans in a bigger tank. If it were MY tank, i'd use pool filtered sand, about 50 or 60 pounds of a really cool rock and try to get a 'color scheme' with your fish. i really like yellow labs mixed with Demosoni.
