What can I do to make my African cichlids get bigger?

Answer by  Liz59 (10966)

Well if you want them to get bigger, you are better off recultivating the soil. Add some nutrients to the soil or you may want to use some citrus peelings.

African cichlids are not a botanical thing. They are a species of tropical fish. You may keep live aquatic plants with this type of fish but I would recommend artificial plants as keeping cichlids is difficult enough.

Do not water them as much. This will cause the roots to dig deeper in search of moisture which will tap into mineral nutrients which translate into bigger flowers.

You should just re cultivate the soil once every so often the chance you get. The major thing with these plants is they need to grow and blossom on time. So therefore, why don't you also water them more often. Feed them with nutrients and minerals. Use vinegars and citrus peelings.

Get some Jobes plant spike they are for flowers and they slowly feed the plant so that it can grow and get healthier. Make sure you have them in good soil.

African cichlids are fish, and healthy food for them can be found at your local pet store. Flowers should be given plant food in order for them to grow bigger.
