I stopped by a petsmart today for a spell to get an estimate on how much i will be spending on various essentials to get my 55g goin' ( gravel, heater, filter and such )
I plan on getting 12 cichlids, 3 of each species mostly. heres my list:
3X Auratus Cichlids ( how many males/females? )
3X Yellow lab Cichlids ( above )
3X Acei Cichlids ( above )
3X Powder Blue Cichlids ( above )
Their diet will consist of: Hikari cichlid pellets ( different version everytime bag runs out )
frozen blood worms( 1-2 times a month )
freeze dried blood worms ( bi-weekly )
Freeze dried krill ( weekly )
Freeze dried brine shrimp ( weekly )
Crickets ( only 2-3 times a month )
Zuchini/cucumbers ( weekly )
Equipment:
200 watt Marineland stealth heater ( up to 55g )
Marineland bio-wheel power filter 350 ( up to 75g )
Topfin air pump XP-125 ( up to 125g, big fish, lots of them, they need lots of air )
tell me if the fish will work together and how many males and females i should have of each species
none of the answers have helped at all, i dont want any fish breeding at all.
