Hi,
I am having a 16G tank

in which i have mbuna cichild all are under 2 inch. a total of 8 cichilds

i brought 2 jewel fish in the tank 2 weeks ago.
one died day before yesterday and one today.
They stopped eating instead a change in coloration is also shown. water parameters are perfect.
dont know whats the matter.

These two types meant to go together?

And i would think the tank too small for all those fish...fighting. not an expert on these types of fish so hope someone can help.

Also buying new fish and adding straight away is risky any way, as you can bring in disease to the others already there.
The fish may have been sick but it looks to me like stress got them.
