Received the fish in good condition. They were active and seemed healthy right after arrival. The tank parameters match what was described, and I’ve maintained the pH and temperature as recommended. The fish have been thriving in my 20-gallon tank.

The cichlids arrived quickly and looked vibrant. I adjusted the pH to 8.2 using crushed coral as suggested. They are active and have started to establish a small territory. Good quality fish for the price.

Easy to care for once the water conditions are set. I kept the temperature stable at 76°F and used limestone rocks. The fish are now swimming together and seem comfortable in the tank.
