Red cichlids I am assuming as red devil cichlids and in which case at least a 75 gallon as they get upwards of 13 inches. Also, additional fish in the tank would diminish any aggressive behavior so they would not be focused on one another.
Two full grown red eared sliders will need at least a 25 gal. tank if not more.
A baby red-eared slider does not need a big tank. However, turtles grow fairly quickly, so, if you buy a tiny tank, you will have to buy a larger one when the turtle grows. So, to save money, you might want to just buy a large, adult-sized tank, and let the turtle grow into it. When I first got my red-eared slider (two and a half years ago), she was only a hatchling, about the size of a silver dollar (like, an inch and a half). At first, I got her a tiny tank (see the Related Link). When she grew too big for that, I got her a tank that was 12 inches long and 10 inches wide. Then she grew too big for that, so, now she lives in a tank that is 20 inches long and 12 inches wide.
It depends on the cichlid. In some cichlids, the male is usually the more colorful and/or ornate of the two sexes. In other cichlids, you would have to look at the gonopore (the vent from which eggs or sperm come) and even then it would be difficult unless you knew what you were looking for.
will two pink convict cichlids produce black babies? yes its like an olbino of the convict cichlids a genetic error.
Goldfish and cichlids have different care requirements and behaviors. Goldfish need colder water and more space, while cichlids prefer warmer water and may be more aggressive. Goldfish are generally peaceful and social, while cichlids can be territorial and may need more hiding spots in their tank.
Ten gallons for two or three is fine.
Yes, although they are considered to be more "aggressive" than "territorial" the simple answer is yes. I once had a tank full of beautiful cichlids, and everything was going fine. They live with one another in harmony, although every now and again I would find they turned on one injured or slightly smaller fish and find it floating at the top. You cannot prevent this. It is their way of "natural" selection, or rather, eat or be eaten. If you have a very large tank it is possible to have cichlids AND other species of fish, but it is not advisable. Cichlids should stay with cichlids, and other "non-aggressive" fish are fine to mix.
yes but if they have babies it wont be
it has two the old big dot and red dot jr
The fish in your aquarium are cichlids, correct? This means you might have some baby cichlids in your future. It also means you're very good at tank maintenance, because cichlids won't start their spawning rituals in a badly maintained tank. What you are seeing is called jaw locking, and it's part of the cichlid mating ritual. Cichlids don't want to mate with weak partners, so they lock jaws and wrestle. One of two things will happen: one fish will prove too weak to breed, and the victor will kill the loser; or they'll be satisfied. Let's assume the outcome of the jaw-locking contest is good--that both fish are suitable parents. Next you should see the two fish prepare a spawning site. Some cichlids like a flat stone, others the inside of a flowerpot. They'll clean it well, spawn over it, then guard it until the eggs hatch and finally guard the fry. At this point, find out what cichlid you have and what their babies eat. You'll need some of it very soon. If they are guoramis they are probably fighting.
Most of them had 14.5 gallon tanks
There are two distinct species both of which are called Zebra Cichlids. One species is from Malawi in Africa and a type of Pseudotropus that comes in many different colours, and the other is from Tropical South America and is a member of the Cichlasoma family. These two different species can not be interbred.
