Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / October 2004Ideas enviroment for cichlid
Hi all , Any some advise for the beginner in cichlid 29 gallon tank. What is the ideal pH , KH and GH for cichlid ? What gravel suitable for the tank? Thanks. - weetat > Hi all , > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks. > - weetat The answers to your questions depend greatly on what cichlids you're interested in. The best thing to do would be to measure the pH of your tap water after it's sat over night and start there. The Rift Lake cichlids need hard alkaline water. This is much the same for the Central American species. For the South American, West African and Madagascar species, you'll want soft acidic or neutral water. For your size tank, I'd look at some of the Tanganyikan substrate spawners, shell dwellers or South American dwarf species depending on your tap water. Tim www.fishaholics.org |
