Hi Guys,

I have a total of 3 lemon Cichlids in this tank (with other Mawli cichlids) but i have 2 that fight all the time, they originally breed and spawned fry and got on well. But now days I have to separate them as the female gets shredded fin wise from the male.

I tried to re-introduce again but she got beaten up. Any ideas on what i could do to get them all happy in the tank and not have her in her own tank?

Cheers

LOL fry dont come from 2 males

go out and get more females if space allows, he's going thru the stage of teenage boys, "gotta get some" :hey: and she's saying HELLLL NO I AINT GONNA :grr:

Bringin more females to "play" with but pay more to get the aprox same size as he is.

IMHO
 
Yep thats what I reckon I've got a frisky male!!! the problem is space, I hoping eventally he'll settle down, the other lemon cichlid in the tank is a lot younger so when they are both in the tank they are the only adults.

I think I'll leave them in seperate tanks for the time being, cheers for all the replies
