Hi all,
I'd like to re-home my spiny eel. Have had it for a few years. It's about 20cm long, and fairly friendly. Currently hanging out with clown loaches - they get along well but do your homework for other species combinations 
Looking for about $20 I guess - price is not so important to me, just want it looked after!
Pick up only.
 
 

HI Fishgirl
 
Most cichlid males will fight to workout the Alpha male and introducing more females is not really going to solve the issue. 
As long as the fighting is not serious you don't need to worry too much. 
If there are 'small' injuries etc make sure that the water is clean and add some salt 1 cup/400l to prevent bacterial infection. Replace the sale if water changes are done.
 
I have done the following with good success for small injuries:
50% initial water change and add salt - 1 cup/400l
then do partial 30% WC every other day and replace the salt lost with water change.
I continued this till the fish looked better - usually takes about 7-10 days
 
I hope this helps

There's already a green cheeked parrotfish...

Just checking to see if I can do this using drag and drop. This is a pic of the birthday cake I made, as requested, for my 4 year old neighbour.
