Got the branch at the LFS where my friend works. It's been out for 2 days.

Andrew McFadden said:Huh I think I'd take him out for a couple days and see
SushiLuckyFin said:I don't know much about community tanks, but he does look very guilty (look at him sitting in there!), and I'd say it's worth taking him out asap, see what happens.
Worse case scenario, you rule him out as the culprit.
I'd be going mental with this mystery!
Convict2161 said:Going to bring the water in tomorrow and a camcorder is a awesome idea. Here's what my buddy wrote down. Hopefully it will make more sense to you then it does to me lol.
Copadachromis borleyi,melanochromis johanni, pseudotropheus elongatus, ob peacock, ngara peacock, lemon jake peacock, haplochromis sp 44, haplochromis , nyererreyi, red zebras, assorted pseudotropheus, tropheus, shark cat, botia loaches, yellow labidochromis,Electric blue hap fryeri, looks like three protomelas taeniolatus. That's what he texted me.
Convict2161 said:I don't wanna jump the gun no pun intended. But this guy has been chasing everyone away from the left side of the tank for over an hour already. I have a little tank ready. I may try and get him out and bring him to my buddy, wait a few days or a week and see of things calm down. Not much chasing going on other then this guy. And he's really bright with color. Probably the brightest in the tank. Maybe because he's dominating the tank so he's showing his colors?
He definitely wants the left side of the tank.
Convict2161 said:He's been caught and re homed at my buddy's shop. The ones that were killed we're blue haps (2) giraffe (5) 2 unknown badly decomposed. And what I believe to be a tropheus, yellow lab, a smaller orange zebra and a peacock. I think that's it.
I'm at the pool company now.
Convict2161 said:Chlorine is reading .08 (not sure of that's higher then normal for tap) maybe I need to add more Prime when doing a water change?
Everything else is good.
Labenator65000 said:Wow some of those are some tough fish. Interesting that the Giraffes (Nimbochromis Venustus) were targeted. Those guys get 10-12" That's really too big for a 75 anyway... You should try completely rearranging the tank weekly for a while until things settle down. It's not good when they've had a chance to decompose, as it causes high Nitrate spikes. Plus rearranging forces everyone to find new territories.
Chlorine should be zero for sure. This sample was from your tank (not your tap), right?

Convict2161 said:I did some rearranging last night and that was tap water tested not tank. I'm wondering if the dose of Prime is enough of thats high. Maybe an extra capful?
