Active Community with Mild-Mannered Cichlids
Why Keep This Community? Here is a group of active and hardy fish for larger tanks. Many of the Cichlids in this community may like to dig, but they are more "mild-mannered" than many other South American Cichlids. This community offers a way to keep some interesting bottom dwellers such as an eel or knifefish.
Housing: These fish can grow large so a good filter system is needed. Some plastic plants and rocks toward the back of the tank are advised. Driftwood makes an attractive decoration and helps to create a more natural environment for your fish.
Temperature: 70-80 F pH: 6.8-7.6
Live Plants: Because they like to dig, live plants are typically not used, use plastic instead. Live plants can be used for feeding.
Feeding: Feed Cichlid sticks, flakes or pellets. Supplement with some frozen krill or plankton.
Tank Mates: Here is a list of some fish you can create a community tank with. The fish should all be of similar size, and should be purchased in larger schools. Stop in to our store today and see a sales associate, we would be happy to help you with your selection process!
