Jammos Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Right here we go. I have a fully set up tank with lots of hiding places and get away spots but for some reason some of them seem to be dying off due to being beaten up! Tank is 120cm x 50cm x 40cm Now in the tank I have 2 male yellow electrics 3 mech... johan.. blues ( sorry don't know spelling) 1 golden striped cichild and a red tail shark and a couple of barbs Last night they (the johani.. blues and electric yellows)beat up the other golden striped one but I was too late to save it, it died over night in a isolation tank And a month or so ago the beat up both my breading female electric yellows!! A) how do I stop this ( Ithought she had eggs in her mouth and transferred her but 6 weeks later no luck!) B) how am I going to introduce some more if I want to buy them at the show next weekend!

Rob Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Often for Africans it's recommended to stock quite heavily (this way no one gets a chance to set up it's own territory for long). As far as the best way to introduce new ones - re-arrange the rock work just before you add them - this way what territories currently exist will be broken up - means that the new ones have a chance to intergrate without intruding on someone elses territory.

Jammos Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 thanks for that. also how big should the new ones be just incase they get eaten. half the size of the existing or maybe quarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
