Good day everyone,
I need help on Lake Malawi cichlid, just put a 75 gallons fish tank together and was wondering how to add cichlid in it, as there are 4 species I like but not sure which one to put in first. I read some where I should put the less aggressive one first like ( Electric yellow) at least 5 of them. Wait a week or two then put Acei yellow tail, same, at less 5 of them and so on with the other species.
Can you tell me if this is a good thing to do or not?
Thank you.

SO SORRY TO BE SO LATE HERE!! PC was down but got one going so back to helping.... I hope.. Barb
As U have already started this tank, I am unsure on what and how U did add in the cichlids.. But... Yellow tailed are your lest aggressive cichlids, so they should go first.. Elec. Yellows are not nice once they get bigger. I had 6 and within a few months, all but ONE large male was dead.. I didnt' get anymore after that. Love them but the Acies are much nicer if U can find some cobalt blues to go with them, that is a very nice combo.. I would do them all at once OR within a week of each other. IF U wait to long, the newbies are picked on relentlessly and some dont' survive it.. BUT I am sure U have it going so come back and let us all know HOW it went and what is going on now..
