hey so lets say i have a 55 gallon and i am getting blue powder mbuna's would i need to buy my full stock all at once? because i really dont have much money since i am young.
@bolly12345 ok like how small of groups like 5 at a time or something? because maybe i could do that but i couldn't buy my whole stock at once saying they are about 10 bucks a piece.
@rexlinkfish It is good to intoduce african species in larger groups of itself to an aquarium at a time cuz I got only 5 demasoni at once and they all killed each other except for one! Increasing the # of african cichlids in a tank lowers agression and the fish will split the harsh bullying from an aggresive fish of thier species.
@rexlinkfish and @bolly12345 I have had Cichlids ever since I was a little kid (Seventeen now) and I just restocked my tank with them again a couple days ago. One thing that I never really thought about when adding new Cichlids was rearranging my tank rocks. I did it for the first time and (since cichlids are usually aggressive) it was a great thing to do. Everyone was looking for a new spot to claim and not fighting the new guys defending their old spots. Try that when adding them in groups!
plz help! i am starting a chiclid tank and had it all planned out and then i read the demonsi have to be kept in groups of twelve or more, is this true, I cannot buy or keep that many fish in my tank HELP!
@3871120217 Yes it's true, they should be kept in groups. If your tank is too small to keep that many Demasoni well then it's too small to keep African Cichlids full stop
@3871120217 Yes and no. If you keep more than one male you need plenty to spread out the aggression. You can always just keep one though. Male Demasoni hate other male Demosoni much more than other species males.
@MyFishCare101 You could also be seeing tanks of Pseudotropheus saulosi. The males are blue with black bars, like the demasoni, and the females are all yellow, and therefore kind of look like the Yellow Labs (Labidochromis caeruleus). Either that or you could be seeing a combination of saulosi and Yellow labs, or demasoni and Labs like bolly12345 had mentioned.
I just uploaded an update to my African cichlid tank. I just got the fish about a week ago, and i would really appreciate it if i could get some feed back on my fish tank. I have 4 fish in my tank, an Acei cichlid, yellow lab, kenyi, and a red zebra cichlid. Thanks :)
Cool set up, like how you set out the rocks(instead of just piling them up in front of the back glass panel), looks a lot more natural, thumbs up Bolly!!
just started treating my cichlids to cucumbers ... they love it also give the large leave of romaine lettuce ... im setting up 30 gallon tank at my job in the office definitely getting some demasoni ... nice job .
loevly tank ive got the same type of cichlids as you but i dont have a clue what they are what type is the blue and black striped ones? how be a great hand as i want more :P
Hello I have just quit planted aquarium and I want to grow cichlid fish. My tank is 250 liter , Im planning to make a demasoni colony. Since Im new to cichlids I need to ask some questions. As I know they live in PH 7.8 - 8.6 and hard water. Have you tested your water ? Is this PH level strict for keeping demasoni ? Is it good idea to use potting soil to increase water hardness ? Thank you
wow its cool that you are still checking out your comments and replying even though this was made in 2010!

@utubewantsmeregister Please visit my channels - I have loads of guides on HOW TO - set up African Cichlids Tanks
bolly12345 4 months ago
@utubewantsmeregister You need use marble for it. It's good for African Cichlids.
The water must be strict or coarse.
For some American Cichlids a peat is good. but it good just for American Cichlids.
