Daniel was awesome... WOW! 70 tanks!!!! :shock:

my wife would kill me, and bury me in the backyard... the end.

this dude has some of THE rarest, most beautiful Tang Cichlids and cyps that you will ever see... I was in LOVE with some of his tropheus, and also his yellow calvus... and a VERY interesting goby cichlid... CRAZY.

anyway, I scored 8 multies, and 2 black calvus...

let the fun begin!

thanks all for pointing me in this direction... as you can see, I am rather excited... :D

Most cichlids are very adaptable (of course there are exceptions) and can live and breed in your tap water. If adult fish are not breeding when you think they should be, then you can start playing around with the water. Even then I would start with temperature changes and simulated wet and dry seasons before I added chemicals to the water.
how do you simulate wet and dry seasons in an aquarium? thanks!

Dry Season - Go longer between water changes and raise the temp a bit. You can also lower the water level in the tank if you like.

Wet Season - Do more frequent water changes and use cooler water.
