In addition, as it would not allow me to type any further, eggs have been laid by the female salvini Central America cichlid, but as stated no male exists in tank of that area, other tank mates include mouthbrooders such as frontosa, peacock cichlids, and mbuna's all from South Africa, so I am curious if there is any possiblity that these eggs are fertile, as I have many breeding pair, but the female that has laid these eggs is the only egg layer in the tank and has no mate of same genre, any ideas if eggs could be fertilized by a mouthbrooding cichlid such as the tankmates from south Africa?

You gave a bit of cucumber to your Pleco but your small Malawi Cichlid ate it will the Cichlid be ok?
Yes, it is common to feed vegetable matter to Malawi cichlids (especially Mbuna). You can feed them cucumber, spinach, lettuce, peas (shelled), zucchini, etc. Feed a good quality flake/pellet food daily but veggies can be used to supplement the diet.
Is it it safe to put rocks made of cement in aquaria?
No concrete items should be included in an aquarium. In fact, even in outdoor ponds where concrete is used, considerable treatment and coating is required before water and fish are added. The problem is that concrete will leach alkaline material into the water and raise the pH to such a degree that even African rift lake cichlids can be killed.

Can your African chiclids live with your gourami?
99% of the African cichlids are very aggressive fish and will more than likely cause the untimely death of anyother type of fish (and usually same type) that you place within the confine of your aquarium. Also, one should note that PH levels differ between the two. While you can acclimate up and down with fish (Most African cichlids locally are kept PH 7.0 instead of recommended PH 8.2) not all will take the change in stride.
