Frage von Korey : Can african cichlids and convicts breed?
My mom had two cichlids and I was only sure about one. I knew he was a convict. My mom says the other one was an african cichlid. They ended up having babies. Could this cichlid really be an african cichlid and breed with convicts? Or Was this a convict who’s stripes didn’t show?
Answer by Matt it could be possible but unlikely because africans don’t take kindly to convicts. there are africans that have markings similar to convicts though

Frage von Aimee R : What are good tank mates for African cichlids?
I have three African cichlids in a 30gal tank but they are all pretty small. The biggest one is 3in.
Answer by candice_joel Other ciclids. But there are several compatibility charts out there. Just do a web search. Remember to have an inch of fish for every gal. 30 gal = 30 in of fish

Although I haven’t experienced that, but i’ve read everywhere that is possible, not much risk.
In my big tank,
i have about 12 African cichlids (mbuna), with a red tail shark, 5 clown loaches, 3 yoyos.
My cichlids never bothered any non-cichlids. Chinese algae-eater should be stronger than these loaches too.
But my tank is big, with tons of hidings places, everywhere. If you have that, then there’s nothing to worry at all.

african cichlids need certain tank requirements like a tablespoon of rift lake salt per 5 gallons, 75-85 degree water and a strong filter. they are agressive too.

Frage von Patsfan34 : how to determine the sex of my african cichlids?
I have 11 african cichlids and I was wondering how can I tell the gals from the guys? I have only had them for about a month and they are doing well, they have plenty of caves but there is one who seems to be a real bully. However, he does get challenged by only one other, but that one gets along with the rest. I just wanna know hw to tell the sexes.
Answer by roach every cichlid has different features. some are really hard to tell while others are pretty simple. many male mouthbrooder cichlids will have spots called “eggspots on” the anal fin. usually males are more colorful, but this again depends on species. males usually have longer fins.

Frage von LYNN : Can you put malawi cichlids with angelifish and parrot fish since they are related?
Beste Antwort:
Answer by Ghapy Actually, they are not related at all – they just share certain characteristics that define them as ‘cichlids’. Malawi cichlids evolved completely independent from the cichlids of any other region, and the biotope is highly unique, nothing like the soft, planted, riverine waters of Angel fish, or the labratory aquariums of the hybrid parrot cichlid.
Malawi cichlids themselves comprise a group of fish ranging from a couple of inches to a nearly a couple of feet long and – from rock dwelling algae grazers to open water predators, from mild to hostile, and can’t be clumped together as one generalization. Some might ‘work out’ with the other two types, others may kill them, but it’s never an ideal mix.
