This is merely a question for my own curiosity, but I appreciate any responses. One of my yellow labs dies recently--he was the victim of some aggression that I didn't see, but can only ascribe to a recent tank change (to a bigger tank). Anyway, I was watching this injured fish closely and wasn't sure if he would make it, but after not watching for an hour I returned to find him dead. Here's the strange part ... he had been half-buried in the sand already ... not casually, but fairly deep. Is this something cichlids do with their dead? I've never seen it before so I'm curious if anyone has any comments on this. If it was a cichlid funeral, I'm actually sorry I missed it.

The jury is still out on whether the Albino will get along with the Malawis ... but they're all pretty small right now so I still may have a bit of time!

Hi Kayen, My wife is hooked on the idea of a Cichlid community--so it will probably end up being two communities--one tanganiyka and one malawi. Plus there's a general community tank, and a plan for a reef in the near future.

Me too. I'm a photographer so I'm hoping to set up some nice 'shoot-able' displays.

Hi, Just joined up. I live in Edmonton and I'm happily cycling three tanks (10,33,100) after not having fish for about 26 years. Looking forward to the lessons in here (to avoid learning a few in the tanks). Cheers! Chris
