The best PH level for cichlids is 6.8-7.2. In discuss cichlids, this level will be much lower (pleas note- discuss are VERY hard to keep).
No, cichlids and goldfish should not be kept together in the same tank because they have different water temperature and pH requirements. Mixing them can lead to stress and health issues for both species.
6.5 to 8.3___________________ Oscars can be kept as said above in a wide range of PH, however they do best in a neutral PH as do most other South American Cichlids which Oscars are. (Neutral PH is 7.0)
It depends on the type of fish and plants that are in the aquarium. For most tetras, danios and swordplants, a pH of 6 is preferred. For guppies, platies, swordtails, hornworts and cichlids, a pH of 8 is ideal.
No, cichlids require lots of space, and they are very aggressive towards other tank mates. If you want cichlids, get a large tank and only put other cichlids in it.
German Blue Ram Cichlids thrive in a tank with a temperature between 78-85F, pH level of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. Provide plenty of hiding spots and plants for them to feel secure. A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended for a pair of German Blue Rams.
I have a 260 L tank and have to rainbow sharks with 12 assorted cichlids and have not had any issues.
Goldfish and cichlids should not be kept together in the same tank. Goldfish prefer cooler water temperatures and produce a lot of waste, while cichlids prefer warmer water and are more aggressive. This can lead to stress and potential harm to both species if kept together. It is best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure their well-being.
To breed fertile blood parrot cichlids, start by ensuring you have a healthy male and female pair. Provide a spacious tank with hiding spots and a breeding substrate, like flat rocks or spawning mats. Maintain optimal water conditions with stable pH and temperature (around 75-80°F). Once the female lays eggs, the male will fertilize them, and you should monitor the tank closely to ensure the fry are properly cared for.
yes
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.
No, African cichlids and goldfish should not be kept together in the same tank because they have different water temperature and habitat requirements. Mixing them can lead to stress, aggression, and potential health issues for both species.
the best pH for African cichlids is anywhere from 7.5 to 8.5 they like a high blue colour if you have a pH tester.
