Hi!
I have a johanni that thinks he owns the tank. I have one about 4-5" long johanni and three small (about 3" long) bright orange cichlids. The johanni constantly chases the small fish around until they hide up towards the top by the filter outlet and the heater areas. I try to re-arrange the tank over and over but nothing works! I have about 5 plastic plants, three lava rocks, a broken pot, and two bubble walls. I have a feeling that people are going to recommend more rocks...but it just seems like these past couple of days, the johanni has been really agressive and out of it's mind! Any ideas or suggestions? I don't have a QT tank so I can't really seperate him and give him time-out time.
I was thinking of finding some rocks somewhere by my house, clean them up, and make a wall in the middle of the tanks. Although, that would time some time and effort... Anybody else have any ideas? Do you think I can give him back to the LFS? I've had him for about two to three months.
Thanks,
Mike
