Setting Up an Aquarium for Some of the MEANEST CICHLIDS ALIVE
I'll be unboxing my Black Nasty babies and setting up my Landen 72 Gallon Rimless tank. I'll eventually need a bigger tank, but for now, this is where these cichlid fish will be staying. This tank is beautiful, and the fish are some of the most interesting and meanest American cichlids you can find.
Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

      Just in case the sand gets moved enough that the rocks touch the glass. It also helps distribute the weight of the rocks. It might be necessary later, if I turned this into an mbuna tank for instance.

Dealing with probably the meanest fish I ever have had other than that Bumble Bee was Satan-ManMan the Maingano that killed 5 fish in record time before I could rescue them, the jerk went to a Fish store. Of course, now I have a 45gal with just one lonely Salvini which hides every time someone comes up to the tank, sigh, oh well. I love watching you set up your tanks, I like to see how other's set theirs up, you know me I'm watching and going I'd put plants here and there only to watch them fade away into ghost shells of rot, plants scream when they see me coming.

    What about Red spotted severum ? I think it would be a great addition to the Alcatraz

      It would be great -- I think you mean San Quentin. I want another severum, but probably only one and I need a red shoulder. But maybe two more lol

    Great species, don't overfeed when they are young, they are subject to bloat. I lost a few before realizing in the early 2000's. Along with istlanum and grammodes I was never able to keep them to adulthood.

    Where do I start...I have a 6ft 300lt tank with EB Acara and Puruvian Angels. Breeding of both, although the Devils first Spawn (see what I did there 😁) didn't survive the first 24hrs. Started with 6 Acara, now have 60. About to set up a 3ft tank (50gal) for the 5 Peacocks I have. It will be fine for these guys its taller than standard. I have 6 Apistogramma babies ... a bit going on in my fishroom. About to add an 8ft to the family 🥰
