this might be a weird question, but if your fish is too big to flush, and it dies... what do you do??
chuck it? bury? i'm just wondering, because i know some people are more sensitive than others about it.
grossly overstocked? seriously?
the iridescent is going to be donated...
the algae eater is hiding behind some plants...
is it recommended for 1 cichlid per 55gal?
well, all I have in there right now are:
-the 2 cichlids both medium sized, 5-6"...
-1 bala shark and 1 iridescent that are both young 3-4".
-the algae eater 8"
-yoyo loach 3"
once I learned that the iridescent can grow HUGE, I found a suitable home for him and am planning to donate him...
this is my little guy :)
he has a weird "comb" on his dorsal fin where you can clearly see his fin lines bending, not sure what that's from. he seems happy and healthy otherwise and begs for food! :wub:
Until recently, my parrot cichlid and severum cichlid have been living peacefully together in my 55 gallon tank along with an algae eater and a couple of smaller sharks (bala and iridescent). I had a large tinfoil barb in there until I donated him because of his super-fast growth and agression...
