Description: Here are some tips for caring for Neolamprologus multifasciatus, also known as multi cichlids, for beginners: Water changes: Use a gravel siphon to remove debris from the substrate and change the water to a similar temperature. Treat tap water with a dechlorinator before adding it to the tank. Bio media and sponges: Rinse the bio media and sponges in treated tap water to avoid killing beneficial bacteria. Chemical media: If you use chemical media like carbon, change it out every month. Substrate: Add at least 1–2 inches of sand substrate to mimic the Lake Tanganyika shoreline. Sand also helps raise the pH and GH. Filtration: Use a sponge filter or cover the filter intake tube with a pre-filter sponge to prevent baby fish and sand from being sucked up. Temperature: Aim for a temperature of 75–80°F (24–27°C). pH: Aim for a pH of 7.5–9.0. GH: Aim for hard water with at least 8° (140 ppm) GH. Hiding areas: Provide enough hiding areas so each fish can establish its own territory.
