Default malawis and tangys

If you are looknig for a colourful setup with lots of vibrant life, malawis and tanganyikan cichlids are a superb group of fish to keep. Victorian cichlids are also gaining more interest. Looking forward to hearing more from you 'Rift Valley' hobbyists.

I swapped over to Tang's about 6 months ago from community. Not looked back since but have had a slight issue with algae........ I do the regular water changes but seem to have a problem with a dark green algae that starts to cover the corral sand on the bottom of the tank. Has anyone else had a similar issue??

hi nick, have you checked for nitrates/phos?maybe you could try less lighting, more frequent but less water changes,+ when you do wc, try syphoning out the infected area of sand...
