Just looking thru my old posts... noticed all my newb questions. LOL, the fish described in this thread is still doing great! getting old too, and is actually the biggest out of the 4 others that i have.

There really isnt much bickering going on in the tank at all, they chase every now and then, usually during feeding and a litte bit after wards, but there is lots of hiding for all of them... I honestly dont see that being an issue, these guys have been adults for some time now as well.... the...

Update to this situation... The cichlid in question did die, i ended up putting him out... after a long way, he just got worse and worse and was clearly not gonna make it, im surprised how slow and long this all went on.. Unfortuantly it seems that my Jack Dempsey is starting to act strangely...

here are a few pictures, and a decent close up picture of the fish in question...

The tank is 85 gallons i have 2 mubuna cichlids 5.5 inchs 1 jack dempsey ( a very nice mannered one) 6 inchs 4 5 bar cichlids very from 1.5 to 5 inchs 2 clown loachs 3-4 inchs 1 masked cichlid maybe 2 inchs these fish have been together for 2 years, the jack clown loachs and 2 of the 5...

I was just browsing thru my old posts, im proud to say i still have this fish hes full grown one of the best looking 5 bars i have seen in person... he used to be the picked on super shy fish i was always worried about, now he rules the roost with a couple other fishs his size, by far my fav...

Just a small update, since i have free'd up the guy he seems to be swiming a bit better, i treated the tank as a precaution, hopefully it doesnt hurt the fish if they may no need treatment, Fish seems to act normal just swiming a bit goofy and fins are pretty haggered nothing ich like though...

I had just cleaned the tank a week ago, all other fish seem to be acting normal and doing the normal thing However my blue lake malawi guy isnt so normal, i found em in the corner wedged between the glass and a peice of lava rock, he didnt appear to be stuck... maybe he was i dunno, i got him...

anyone? :hyper:

I really enjoy these fish, and i would love to have a breeding pair, i currently have 3 of what i think are males. They range in size from 3-4.5 inchs, they seem to be really happy. They are in an 80 gallon tank with lots of rocks, sand substrate... I am however, finding it difficult to locate a...

Well the fish is doing much better the eye is almost completly healed!! thanks for all the help!!

I have used medication, for cloudy/protruding eye, i have seriously neglected the tank, Im sure this is what it was caused from, once the treatment is dont im going to need to clean it again, its hard to clean to begin with as its sand not gravel, so usally i just vacuum the top, and then stir...

Yes it does stick out a bit, i just finished doing a water change, and the tank is WAY WAY dirtier than i thought...i feel bad :( im bought some medication today, i will put that in there... and change the water again in 4 or 5 days ( mainly get all the nasty crap out of there)....any other...
