so removing the red zebra and the yellow lab, and replacing them with more peaceful cichlids? would be a better choice?

and this picture is the one that gets teased its the light blue one...' name of the cichlid anyone? and i know that they maybe american and african cichlids mixed in there. apparently i heard that you shouldn't mix them, but i was naive and listened to a pet shop salesperson... but i have to...

Hi guys, i have a cichlid tank which is 55 gallon, it has 2 cory doras small (still), 2 bristlenose catfish (babies) and 6 cichlids and i have an orange cichlid which is the boss he is good most of the time.... but lately his been flaring at one of the light blue cichlids all the time. and...

Hi guys, i have a 4 foot aquarium, and i bought 6 cichlids of different types to add, there are lots of objects and enough hiding spaces, the boss is an orange cichlid, sorry dont know the species, and his very good, he breaks up fights and and takes care of the middle, but theres one cichlid...

hmm, ok. yeh i understand the problem with the betta, but i wont be able to run to filtered tanks, i do have a small 5 gallon for the betta so he can be moved, but can't run 2 at the same time.... is that the only option left to me? yeh my betta isnt a punk, yeh his not fast enough for his...

they do take a while to get used to the new tank... Mine didnt eat for 4 days, he would look at flakes... look at pellets, look at blood worms, even ignore wriggling earth worms.... when he noticed that he was hungry enough...he ate. i give my community tank male betta, betta pellets, every...

oh and another question if anyone could answer, is there a reason, why the fish go crazy and dart around for about 10 seconds? after the aquarium lights been turned off.... i suppose as humans we would take time to get used to it, so as long as it is nothing bad for the fish....

yeh before the bala get big ill move them to the indoor freshwater pond, which has no water in it at the moment. The Pleco is the one that gets big, the pet store told me they don't get that big, they always tell you the "truth" apparently anyway i thought i might move them to the pond in...

Hi guys, i just got a upgraded my small tank to a 55 Gal Tank, just wanted to if i havent over stocked it.... I have: 1 Male Betta He doesn't interact with any other fish, and normally rests on his personal leaf plant. his scared of me, so he doesn't come up for food when everyone else knows...

thanx for everyones answers, i transferred them all to a 55 Gal Tank, they are alot happier, now the bettas fins are very spread and swims alot and doesnt flare at anything. and the others are happier too.

thanx, it must be overstocked, should i remove the neons? and is there a better way then having to put them to sleep? i just thought it must be better to take out the neons, because having not enough of them will get them sressed so better to remove the whole group?
