And I say that's pretty good in my book.

We are all literally all across the world, and helpig eachother out like we all know eachother. I agree, pretty dang awesome

I totally get it.

One of my leopard gecko's hasn't eaten in like two weeks and it's scaring the heck out of me. She isn't losing weight but it's not like her, acting all lethargic too.

I've been giving her warm baths every day and making her lick up chicken baby food mixed with pedialyte. It's been killin me!

Since we're all in here. What do you think of the idea of adding more dither fish? I did a lot of reading and it suggests adding more. I think I'm gonna do it. Giant danios is what I went with. I have 8 now.

Ah same happened here last month. I tried hand feeding, but e wouldnt accept. He became weak and skinnier. I finally got him to eat crickets, and now he stuffs himself every week. Yours will get better! Gl steez

No had them for a few days. Had a death before adding them and after. I read up and some articles suggested adding more to confuse the Africans and spread out the aggression because the GD are so fast.

Did you say those are to confuse the cichlids? Oh just saw your new post. Never mind.

BTW, thanks guys for Ich Attack recommendation. I will look for it. End hijack.

That's what one of the articles said. They are used as "target" fish and for a dollar each mine as well. The article stated that it throws the aggression off in the tank. When on African is honing in on another African here comes a school of 12 GD suppose to throw them off.

A little. I've read more tonight an it says to try adding more. It's kinda funny cause I can see one of my cichlids seething up to harass another then here comes a school just swimming by. The Cichlid is like what the heck just happened lol.

I'll take a nice video tomorrow when I add more. It should be cool!!! There so fast and could careless about the cichlids lol.

[Gboy66]

Lol nice, looking forward too it

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Haha that does sound funny!

Dont worry about all of the deaths, it happens and i bet next week something awesome will happen to you, like an african will lay eggs/ give birth.. (not sure which )

Fish keeping is such a wierd hobby, sometimes your fish die and you have noooo idea why! They why this hobby upsets me. Look on the bright side, at least the weak fish are gone and your tank is more manly then ever! jk

@holly
The ich attack formula is amazing. Many people reccomended it to me so i bought it after i had just lost 2 fish to the infestation. Used it for 4 days and no more ich! Strongly reccomend!

That's really good to hear. I'm worried that she has impaction but she is not on a sand substrate. I was thinking she may of ate too many mealworms (switched to superworms cause mealworms chitin can be hard to digest for them).

I'm thinking about trying some GD's in mine too. We'll see
