I know that , but I can't do anything now. I didn't even want that many my dad only bought that many cuz my brother and sister wanted them. And yep I guess your right and it's already string to happen. I had 1 snow white die and my other orange one can't swim correctly. It's like left and right leaning and upside down. But, I don't have the space to get a 200 gallon tank. So like the ones that are going to last will be probably my jack Dempsey, convict and silver dollar. I had the silver dollar for 1 yer already. Eventually the rest will die and I don't have a plan B. and you didn't offend me . My dad is only human. He wasnt a huge fish expert. And yes, I did research before we got the chiclids. And it only said like 3 fish. I wanted the jack Dempsey a red devil and a green terror. I only wanted those 3. And I think they are the same continent . South America ? Basically, tere is nothing I can do.
