[adding new fish to 75 gallon]

I understand. Another question has only ordered africans cichlids from aquarium fish depot? Are they a reputable store to order from or should i stay away?

[adding new fish to 75 gallon]

I normally wait til the day im gonna put the fish in to switch ky cycled filters to the new tank. Should i switch the filters and filter media to the new tank sooner?

[adding new fish to 75 gallon]

Yeah i just don't want to overwhelm the beneficial bacteria i normally only at 6 fish at a time but this is my first time doing africans and people say either do one group at a time or add all at once. I'm just trying to figure out if 16 is too much to add at once even with them being juveniles. And of course i can feed them one day them skip a day or two for a few weeks as not to have an ammonia spike.

[adding new fish to 75 gallon]

So my goal is to have 8 yellow labs and 8 yellow tail acei. I'm gonna order them as 1.5 inch juveniles. If i order them all at once i'm gonna get a better deal on them. Is it possible to add 16 juveniles to a new tank all at once? I have media for the new filters that will be going on the 75g in my filters on my 125g. I also have 3 cycled sponge filters and i have a bottle of fritz zyme bottled bacteria. Can this be done or should i just add one group at a time? Worst come to worst i have a 40 breeder that i use as my quarantine tank i can put one group in there and one group to the 75g and wait a couple weeks til i add the fish from the 40 breeder. On corys video he said he adds a lot of fish at one time so just trying to figure out if this is a good or horrible idea. Thanks for any feedback

[cycling new tank]

Ok thanks

[cycling new tank]

i'm setting up a new tank and im gonna use a couple filters from a cycled tank to cycle it. Should i put the cycled filters on the new tank a week before i'm gonna put the new fish in or like the day before? I dont want to put the cycled filters on the new tank too soon and all the bacteria just die off. 

[Feeding yellow labs]

Ok thanks so much

[Feeding yellow labs]

Do you feed bug bites cichlid formula?

[Feeding yellow labs]

I ordered northfin veggie formula is this what i should mostly be feeding them? Can i feed them frozen brine with spirulina once a week?

[Feeding yellow labs]

What are some good foods to feed yellow labs? Please be specific. Thanks for any help.

[75 gallon mbuna tank crushed coral]

Yeah it just seemed like people would use crushed coral or aragonite even if their water was already suitable for africans. So i was just wondering.

[75 gallon mbuna tank crushed coral]

I'm starting a 75 gallon mbuna tank. My ph is 8.0-8.2, gh 14-15, kh 8-9. Would adding crushed coral be a good or bad thing for the african cichlids? Or am i better off just leaving it alone? Thanks for any feedback.

[75 gallon stocking]

thanks for the replys. My angelfish likes to eat as well. Im gonna give it a shot i just ordered the rainbows wish me luck lol

[Filtration (HOB's) for a 125]

I agree with Jeff. Aqua clear filters will be what your looking for.

[How much does Ph matter]

Keep it stable. Dont use any ph down or any products like that. You could add some driftwood if you dont already have some that will lower your ph a little bit. Its always better to keep your ph stable rather than trying to chase the perfect ph. My ph is 8.2 and i keep all the common community fish like you have listed with no problems. Just keep it stable and the fish will adapt to it and be just fine.
