bamadude91 said:Honestly, I'm afraid to put anything in the tank with the Bumblebee. It attacks anything I put in the tank. A couple of my fish have no fins. I'm tempted to take the bully back to the petstore this evening. I can't deal with one fish tearing up others that I've paid $8, $9, $10 for.
bamadude91 said:It's a pretty fish, and I really don't want to do the process of returning the fish. He's fun to watch. I've got sand in the tank, and he's dug almost all the sand away from the Resin Mopani I purchased at Petco (looks really good and I don't have to deal with curing). I'm adding decor to the tank slowly. I'm thinking of adding Anubias Congensis or Java Fern for greenery.
He's a d***, and highly frustrating. Lol

Question 2: How should I go about taking care of an injured fish? All the fish's fins are torn to shreds.

bamadude91 said:Thanks guys for all the help! I returned the Bumblebee to Petsmart. The remaining African Cichlids I have are the Yellow Lab and Acei. I love those guys! They like each other's company. I don't plan on adding any more Cichlids in the immediate future. I'm going to learn the ropes with these two guys.
To replace the Bumblebee, I purchased Black Phantom Tetras and Harlequin Rasboras (obviously in a separate tank from the African Cichilds. Just thought I'd make that clear lol) I'm looking for a centerpiece fish for the tank. I'm thinking a Turquoise Rainbowfish. Additionally, my local Petsmart has Endler's Livebearers and I really want a handful of them. Will the Rainbowfish eat the Endler's? From what I've read on the internet, no, but thought I'd check with you guys.
bamadude91 said:@scott: The injured Cichlid didn't make it. He was torn up pretty bad. I've heard good things about Melafix tho.
@garfy: Hmmm...any other fish that would work well w/ my community tank that would work as the centerpiece?
