Hey guys
I done my research and decided to buy ONE firemouth cichlid with some other compatable fish.
We to my LFS and the member of staff recomended TWO firemouths...
I just went for his advice as he sells fish all the time.
6 months later and one of my firemouths has grown to 2.5-3" and is rather territorial. This is not a problem for the small pleco and tetras I have because the can hide and get away from him however the other firemouth is now looking sickly and spends all of his time at one small corner of the tank. I try my best to get him food but the larger firemouth is especially aggresive during feeding and is quite greedy.
Is there anything I can do?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have a 110L tank.
