Right now the inhabitants in my 10 gal. planted tank are Laetacara curviceps (the murderer), one cory, two otos and two neons. I want to put in another oto and cory, but my dwarf cichlid "curviceps" will just attack them until they die. I remember hearing that Laetacara curviceps are peaceful fish, but my has already killed three fish and I saw him do it!
So far he's killed two corys and one oto. With the corys, he shreds up their tails/fins, bites their barbels off, and constantly attacks them until they die. I haven't seen him kill the oto, but they are slow moving fish and I'm pretty sure he did it. I just have a few questions:
1. Should I take him back to the fish store I got him from?
2. Are there any fish that he won't attack besides tetras?
3. Should I try to by another cory and oto, but try to find the bigger cory/oto out of the bunch?
Thanks in advance.
