Again not a cichlid but in my small tank I have the blind cavefish. Pretty cool to watch them especially feeding time because they go crazy

55 gallon with maybe 13 cichlids, 5 danios and a bristlenose

So I tried putting the bichir in the big tank and I think he's too small. I added him with two other cichlids and rearranged half of the tank at the same time. I saw him this afternoon in the corner with a missing fin and some damage to the back. I'm going to let him grow till about 6+ inches...

I like the setup and the fish. Great looking colors for just adding them. Keep it up.

They are crazy your right. Especially at feeding time. Had one jump out of the tank and land in the jar of food.

All my fish love mine I have a big one on one side and a small nano on the other they almost seem to be doing something with the current sometimes my danio hang out behind it. Maybe they think they are safer behind it who knows.

I'm going to give it a shot I was more worried about the Johanni bring aggressive but with the other cichlids he may never notice the bichir

I would just paint the back glass make it simple plus with the white rock and black gravel it will be perfect

I always forget the basic but most important parts. It's a 55 with caves all on the left side and lots if swimming room on the right. The bichir is a Senegal.

What's in that cave?

So after looking through all the threads about this i came to the conclusion there shouldn't be any problems putting him In the tank. I just have a territorial Johanni and with some if the cichlids being about 3-4 inches big will he be okay or should I wait till he's bigger. He is around 3...

Great looking fish.

Okay. Ya I may have just jumped to conclusions. I just checked it and the belly is getting smaller. I fed them today and will fast them again to work it's way back to normal

So my auratus has a big belly at first I thought it was bloat from over feeding so I didn't feed for a couple days and that's the only fish that has it. It doesn't seem to be acting any different than usual and all water parameters are good. The only other auratus I have is a blue juvenile along...

I had this guy in my tank. He was in there first and killed most of the tropical fish so I switched to cichlids and they left each other alone. He died after climbing out if the tank to go for a walk.
