Hi,
We started a 29 gallon tank for my 11 year old son about 4 weeks ago. We started with three cichlids, about 1-1 1/2" each. After we had a cycle (pretty sure we are cycled as we got a really good goopy filter from someone and the test kit is reading the right numbers) we added one more cichlid and an algae eater. So five total. Is this too many for this small tank. There is a ton of aggressive activity happening. We have set up three different caves complexes so everyone will have a place to call home. But still, a lot of chasing going on. Is this just the way they will always be or do we need to change something?
Thanks,
Amber
