Acclimating Cichlids to Marine water happens alot more often than one might think. At one point there was a theory that they and damsels evolved from a common marine ancestor, not sure what ever happened with that theory though. May have been de-bunked. Either way though, I'd love to see some pic's...

It goes well for a few months... They may even colour up... and then *seriously* down (as in never to colour up, or swim for that matter, again). I've done it with a few species when I was young, not one ever worked out long term.

This is exactly why I didn't say one *should* do it...

Either way, best of luck!

I guess my question would be WHY?? There are so many marine fish that are gorgeous......why turn a freshie into a salt water fish? Sorry if this is off topic a bit mods...but I just want to know why a person would do that?

Thats what I was wondering? If a person wants jewels why not put them into a FW tank?
