NO, it doesn't always mean you can add more fish. What other media is in the filter? (I am not a cichlid person, so I'm not the best person to advise you on stocking ) Last edited by Callatya at 20-Aug-2005 08:30 For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
