wont they kill each other when they grow bigger? what should i do? is my tank too small?.. is there a cichlid specialist out there? hhhheeeeeelppp!

can i have a pair of jewel cichlids and a pair of firemouth cichlids and have both pairs breed in a 55 gallon tank without any deaths

just a quick question as i couldnt find anything via the web on it. can a flowerhorn be crossed with any cichlid species naturally? theres so many different types that resemble other cichlids and im curious if it can just naturally happen or it its all science (basically a fish built in a beaker)if there is any species please let me know! thanx much in advance =o].

i know many of you dont like hybrids but hey, this is my tank at home..i keep several cichlid species from all over the world and dont see the harm in owning one.

ive had an african cichlid tank for about 3 months now, and its thriving quite nicely, but today i noticed that one of my female cichlids color had changed. i BELIEVE she is a Pseudotropheus, although i cant be more specific than that (the pet store was poorly labeled). she was a light purple with dark purple tiger style stripes, and is now becoming yellow. the change is most noticable around the head and dorsal fin, with a light shading coming in around the scales.

the water conditions are fine, i have tested everything, and she is behaving normally and eating just fine….is this a normal thing for cichlids to do?

hints or trick to maintain the perfect Cichlids in a 55gal
