Alright. I dont see them poop much, but I will keep my eyes peeled I don't feed them blood worms because of the cichlids in the tank. I know they are a schooling fish, will the 2 I have left be okay together, or should I get a couple more? I don't want unhappy fish!

That's what I thought too, but I'm just trying to rule things out of the problem!! What kind of thing would I look for in the waste?

Well I suppose all I can do is try to soak the pellets first, see what happens with my other 2 barbs. Not sure what else could cause that, especially since they were perfectly fine when I shut the light off. I watch the ammonia levels and other levels regularly, and I do weekly water changes, so...

no, I only put in a few, for that very reason actually, used to put alot more then i do now and it would make a mess! they get eaten right away, if its not the barbs then its the cichlids, if its not the cichlids its the syno's

my thoery on it is, when i put the shrimp pellets in, they gobble them up like there is no tomorrow, before they even soak up any water and expand. so if they eat lots and THEN they expand in the stomach because of the water that it bloats them because they have too much in their tummy. I'm...

He was fine when i shut the light off, when I woke up, he was bloated and upside down!

I already said why, I don't have much to choose from here. and I dont want to travel to get fish, or order them online. I guess Ill just try them anyways My town isnt even on that list even tho I have 3 pet stores. If you lived where I lived you'd understand

Does that happen even with large numbers of the same species(or each species). like auratus for example

I am looking to stock a 4 foot 90 gallon tank. It has yet to be set up. But I want to get a head start on figuring out what to put into it. I am definately going with mbuna. The fish that I am thinking of putting in it are: auratus redzebra albino socolofi and the kenyi cichlid possibley the...

African Lake Malawi cichlids. Mbuna to be exact Thank you CFC, that helps alot. Much appreciated!

Would I need to put one on either end, or does it really matter
