Limit The Agrression

[backley420]

i have 2 convicts and 1 GT and when the convicts have fry the GT gets beat up. I don't have another tank to put either fish in and I want to keep all of them. Should I add another cichlid so 1 fish wont recieve all the pain. --- i have a 50 gallon (long) tankwith a bunch of hiding places

Get a divider, anyone keeping cichlids should have one.

What is a GT?

 

[QuotheRaven]

Green Terror Cichlid is a GT I gather

 

[backley420]

Ya but any fish ideas?

I'm sure another small cichlid or 2 would be fine...

I wouldnt add anymore cichlids to your 50 gallon. How about some target fish to distribute the agression? Giant Danios would be nice and my GT just goes after them once in awhile instead of my other fish. He will never catch them

agreed lol

giant danios would work well. they are to fast for the cons or gt to catch so most agresstion is spread out on them

 

[backley420]
