Unfortunately I can not post a picture right now but I will get my camera later today and do it. The strange thing is that the tank was very peaceful for an african one. Not many fights and certainly not with venustus. I never added salt to my fish, if this can help. Also despite the fact that...

I have a 25 gallon freshwater tank with african cichlids. Fish included are 1 Red Zebra (4cm), 1 Aulonacara(7cm), 1 Pseudotropheus(4cm), 1 Kadango(10cm) and 1 Venustus(10cm). Then tank was setup 3 months ago with only the venustus and the zebra and were doing fine for 1 month. After that I added...

Thanks Thanks to all of you. I think I'll take tour advice and start planning either for a bigger tank or new inhabitants in my existing. However, is a bit of wonder how my LFS keeps about 20 african cichlids in tanks about the same size as mine....

I have a 25g african cichlid tank with 6 fish inside(1 female red zebra, 1 venustus, 2 aulonocara, 1 female tropheus, 1 male zebra) for 1 month now. Yesterday I introduced one more fish (aulonocara albino) and within 2 hours the other fish chased it to death (especially my red zebra). All the...

Thanks for the reply, I did as you suggested at my lfs and the tests didn't show any high level of ammonia or nitrites. Of course the water sample I took there is the one I have now after two partial changes. He also assured me that no disease is present on his fish since he sold a lot of them...

I have a 42 littres tank 60cmx30x25 and for 4 months I had inside 2 silver sharks, a gold gurami a molly and a platy with no significant problems. Just a week ago I decided to go the aquarium shop and see if I can get some more fish. The "expert" :x there told me that since my system is...

Bala Sharks issue Thanks very much. I think you are right...I've been thinking about that lately...but I don't have room for a larger aquarium. I'm wondering what I can I do...maybe I can give them away in some way because I don't want to torture them or even have the worst.

:( I have 2 bala sharks, which up to now had no problems being in my tank along with a gold gurami and two mollies. Yesterday I noticed one being very aggressive on the other one...continously chasing it all over the tank. The non aggressive shark looks very scared and is being idle in the...
