I have a 55 gallon tank. Stock list as follows: (4-??) Yellow Labs, (2-female) Red Zebra, (1-female) Bumblebee, (1) Pearl Gourami, (1) Cory Cat, (1) Pleco (some of these left over from tropical setup).
I had a male red zebra from another tank that was getting too aggressive so I wanted to try him in the 55 gallon tank with the bigger fish. After about a month he started getting aggressive again :x . I noticed one of my red zebras is missing its tail
! It is kind of white around the area where the tail used to be. I did not notice any fuzziness or growths there. Was the tail just eaten and it will grow back on its own or do I need to treat the zebra :-? ? The fish is eating and moving around pretty good considering the missing tail fin.
I finally had to break down and take the male zebra back to my LFS. They let me trade it in on another fish. I picked up a small albino zebra, the only fish they had that I thought would work in my tank. I’m hoping it is a female and will play nice with its tank mates.
One more unrelated question: I would like to add some ‘blue’ to the tank. Could I add 2-3 Pseudotropheus Acei to the tank or should I stick to my current stocking list? I will wait until I get the red zebra fixed up first, of course.
