Hi all.
I've recently set up a New 240L New World Cichlid tank, based around a lovely pair of Heros Notatus. I added 10 Bleeding Heart Tetra as dither fish & all has been fine.
Last night I returned home to find one of the Bleeding Hearts had 'lost' an eye (into the stomach of one of the Severum I presume!)
Anyone experienced this sort of behaviour before. I've had fin nipping and general grumpiness with cichlids before, but this was pretty unpleasant for the poor Tetra. I felt no other option than to put him out of his misery as it left a nasty hole
