Well alot is gonna depend on where they are from. Im sure youll get help from ppl who work there now. There is a forum out there that deals with just cichlids. I cannot remember the name of it but im sure its something easy. If you know a particular species I can help ya.


Hope all goes well with your new job.

the main concern with them is the PH, and the water hardness. Like Stang said you need to know where they are from first.
