![]() 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?

![]() This seems unnatural and even cruel to me. Why bother? I had jewels when I had freshwater tanks and they were beautiful fish but I have no idea why anyone would want to attempt to turn a freshwater fish into a saltwater fish. I cannot see that the fish would enjoy it - especially if you killed ten trying it out!
