Yes, If cichlids are well fed, they rarely touch plants. But still sometimes may have a nip or 2 on a couple. This goes for I think most fish including barbs...

Hi Nim What plants do you have with your Tanganyikans? As I recently lost my Scieanochromis I bought a trio of Brichardis and a pair of shell dwellers...
In an effort to reduce the nitrates in my tank I purchased and planted some new plants in my tank last night. I got them from a local Petco... These plants...
Hi All, My angels have yet spawned again. This is probably the 5th time and now they are aggressively protecting them. They already battered my large female ...
Nim, can you use some type of tank divider to keep the angels separated from the other fish. Sounds as though that might protect all parties in this fray. -- ...
Hi Fran, I cannot use a Divider in this tank. It is too much planted to be able to put in a divider. Can I move the parents and the eggs to another tank? Will ...
I'm certainly not the plant expert here, Tony, but would like to see if I'm right :) I'd say that yes, the first ones are swords and they should be planted in...
Sorry, Nim, but I just don't know. My angels spawned once and just had a tasty snack :( That's all I know about them. -- Growing old is inevitable; growing...
Nim, From my personal experience, the survival rate is nil. My pair had "wrigglers" and they too, were protecting them. The pair kept them on a single leaf...
Bugger. What if I cut the leaf into 2. take some eggs and leave some for the angels to care for? Would that help? Or, what are the consequences that I take the...
If there are other fish around, the parent angels will most likely eat the eggs before they hatch. I would remove the other fish. ---John Nimish Mathur...
I have a pair of breeding swordtails with a group of their young. At the same time, I have 3 pairs of breeding angels. To make room for the angels, I put the...
Hi AuntieFran(notice I didn't call you gramps this time). White, dark brown and black? Where are you buying your plants, Walmart? AuntieFran@... wrote:...
Thanks for not calling me Gramps, Harry, but most of my plants have come through swaps or donations :) from other APD (Aquiatic Plant Digest) members. But I...
Sounds like you need a fish room. I wish.... marilyn ... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard...
Harry, I am surely not that lucky. I removed the amazon leaf on which they had laid the eggs. Any idea when would they spawn next? I might condition a breeding...
John, I wish I could. But they are too many and the tank is too big. So I will have to stress on the next time they breed. Thanks, Nim _____ From: john zhang...
I Wish I could. I have been looking for Tuxedo swordtails and lyre tail swordtails for some time now. But I am in the UK and don't have space. Infact, I am...
Harry, I have seen them Spawn and lay eggs. So I know which one was the one that was laying the eggs with the ovipositor visible. The 3rd angel I have has an ...
The first one looks like Anubias Congensis or similar variaty of Anubias. I can't think of the name of the second one, it's a fast growing stem plant however....
Nim Nim, I have successfully bred angels: 3 pairs of my 2nd generation are now spawning. Personally, I think the key is to eliminate the fear of threat on the...
Dear Group; I haven't been able to find any site so: 1. How can you tell male or female platies, 2. How can you tell male or female Oscars. thanks in advance...
