Can Someone Help Me Out?!

JohnRossDele · Jul 19, 2009

Hi all, My male krib died when when i was on holidays i left my aunt to feed them and she must have misread the instructions :-(

I still have my 100 litre and im starting the cycle tomorrow. I've been searching everywhere without success for a proven pair of firemouth cichlids

So, can someone search for me and help me out it has to be a uk site remember since im in NI

Thanks loads!!

You need to get that tank cycled first.

I'd be almost 100% certain that feeding will not be what killed the krib in your other tank - my guess would be either the acaras or even the female krib. Feeding would be way down the list of possible causes.

You certainly can't put a proven pair of firemouths in there - it would be carnage.

By the way isn't this the 3rd or 4th thread you've started on the one subject? Be careful or you are just going to alienate people. Spamming the boards with so many threads on the same subject is not a good idea.

It probably was the female because she just constantly ate his body

they will be ok in the 100l once cycled but if you got them before that they would NOT be ok in the 240l

I can see what you mean :good:

they would be downright aggresive and bousterous and most likely kill another fish if not more
im just checking for sites at the mo so that i can buy the pair when the tank is cycled
