kingmatherz Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi Guys, need some advice with my Serverums. I have a green one and a yellow one. Had them about 2 months now. The yellow was a little bit bigger than the green when i got them but now is groing heaps faster. Yellow is now about 8cm long while green is about 5cm. The yellow one always hassles the green one, nipping at his/her fins and tail, ripping little bits off. There is a syno and also bristlenose in the tank which the yellow one is not interested in - just the green severum. What to do? I am not willing to set up another tank, maybe I need to get rid of 1?

ryanjury Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 You have cichlids they will fight the only ones that get along are compatible pairs but even if things go wrong pairs fight too.. What sexes do you have and how big is the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger tank, more places to hide, that's about all you can really do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 If a fish is getting bullied to the point of getting damaged or it hiding all day then it isn't really a good life for it so I would remove it.. Unfortunately this is what cichlids do probably 2 the same sex and the biggest one is trying to chase the smaller one out of its turf.

Ira Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 if they are two males they will fight i have 2 males and 1 female both the males fight. My two males didn't fight until after they tried breeding. Infertility puts a huge strain on any relationship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
