Hey guys, I've got a 50 gallon mbuna tank running for 4 months, I've been on tropical fish keeping forums but decided that I should join a forum dedicated to cichlids too.
When I started the tank I bought some pseudotropheus elongatus and had no idea what I was in for. They suck.
Anyways, amazingly I was able to get rid of them for free on craigslist and just days after, my yellow labs and mainganos are more colorful and active than ever. Big surprise haha.
Anyways all is well except for a little maingano I have, he's my smallest one and has a ton of fin nips. He usually is beat to the food and is pretty pale. I currently don't have a qt available (I need different tanks for my qt and grow out tank haha). I caught him and put him in a breeder net for a couple of days, he ate and got a little less skinny, so I let him back in the tank. He's doing alright, but I'm not seeing any dramatic improvements. Should I do anything?
p.s. I'll get some pix 2morrow
Thanks,
-Ian
