Hello all, I'm new to this forum, I came here because I have a cichlid question.
so, here's the situation, I had two tanks that were a bit overcrowded. I got a 120 gallon tank and put all my fish in there. all together I have two 7 inch Dempseys, 3 convicts (the largest of which is about 4 or 5 inches), a 4 inch fire mouth and a 4 inch chameleon.
now they are in the 120G, most of the fish get along well enough with each other, but the two dempseys, who had been separated previously for fighting, started fighting again (I had really hoped they would find a way to settle their differences without resorting to violence :wink: ). one of them got beat up really bad and I put him in a 30 gallon by himself to heal up.
now the jack in the big tank is going after the chameleon.
I thought maybe I could remove the aggressive one and put the weaker Jack in the big tank, but I'm afraid the convicts would beat him up.
I have already found a fish store who will take in the injured Jack.
the only other way I know how to get this tank to calm down is to over crowd it a little. I was thinking of getting an electric blue, a bumble bee and a jewel.
any thoughts?
