Hi all.
First post. Nice forums.
I recently setup a 25 gallon chiclid tank. I used cycle to start with and bought a testing kit and all level are zero right now except for Nitrates which have come down to about 20ppm. I'm not sure if this will ever get to zero.
There are 2 jonnis, 1 johanni, 1 red zebra, and a pleco. All were doing pretty good. I had to take back an earlier johanni I had because it was ultra aggressive and killed a strawberry we had just bought. Like I said all were doing good, only a few chases here and there. I bought a fairly large branch like ornament for the middle of the tank to add more character. It seems once I did that the existing johanni started after the red zebra. The zebra is now inside of one of the smaller hiding places and is very skittish. He won't even come out at feeding time. The johanni get in chases with the pair of jonnis every once in a while but nothing too serious.
Well I'm worried about the zebra now. The zebra was in with the first batch of fish and is about the same size as the johanni. He's obviously just not as aggressive.
Well any advice. Should I wait it out? Should I bring back my second johanni. Should I bring back the zebra?
Thanks for the help.
