cichlids

What is the best LED lighting spectrum to use with African cichlids in a 180 gallon tank? How many lights will I need for a 72x24x24 tank to prevent dead spots? Has anyone heard of BML lights based out of Texas?http://www.bmlcustom.com/custom-led-strip/ Alex

Hello, I am starting up a new tank which is the first I have had in a few years. Previous tank setup was a 75g bowfront reeftank which got me into keeping fish. I always liked cichlids and now that I own a house I can finally start a new tank without worrying about moving it around. I am...

Over the past nine months or so my Chocolate cichlids have spawned over half a dozen times. However, I haven't had any luck with hatching. It seems that after a day or two the male will get spooked and eat all the eggs. Does anyone have any suggestions that will help increase the likelihood of...

I'm at a crossroads with my African cichlid aquarium. I had two species of fish, Labidochromis caeruleus and Pseudotropheus(Metriaclima) elongatus. My group of 5 elongatus was all males (Crazy misfortune, right?!) so I ended up selling all but the best two males. My Labs have been breeding like...
