Expertise

I own and maintain several freshwater aquariums from 2 to 180 gallon. I can answer most questions about freshwater aquariums, including setup, cycling, maintenance, compatible tank mates, feeding. Moving? I've moved fish both across town and across the country and can help you get your little aquatic friends to their new home safely. I know and have experience with most freshwater community fish, South American Cichlids and African Cichlids. If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll do research to find the best answer for you. I don't answer questions about Goldfish or keeping Goldfish with Tropical Fish. I also don't answer questions about keeping crustaceans (shrimp, snails, crabs etc) with Tropical Fish, nor questions about saltwater fish or aquariums. I'm not available to answer questions on weekends, this is when I do maintenance on my own tanks.

Experience in the area

Many years of personal experience with fish and aquariums

2012-01-18 Severum:

Hi Sam In Cichlid tanks, the shy or timid one of the bunch seems to be the one that is picked on. Unless you plan to breed Cichlids, it's best to have one of each species. Adding more Severums may work
