kingmatherz Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi, have been reading up on these guys on various web sites and they all say mixed things so asking for others opinions/feedback. Do they eat small fish/fry? I have one which is about 10cm now, just not sure if I can put small fish in with it and if it would eat them (or any fish/fry etc). Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Are they small fish small enough to fit in its mouth? If yes then they will most likely be eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingmatherz Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 right, so maybe that is where the baby cichlids have been going??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 right, so maybe that is where the baby cichlids have been going??? Baby cichlids? You mean Noms? In general ANY fish will try to eat any fry that doesn't get away before it gets eaten. Just some fish aren't as aggressive about chasing them down.

ally07 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sorry to hijack the thread, but are they any good as a clean up fish? I'm considering getting one as a clean up crew.. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 What kind of fish have you got? I like corydoras and snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 What kind of fish have you got? I like corydoras and snails. It'll be going in with an arowana, a sailfin pleco, an ornate bichir and a fire eel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm not sure about this but does clown loaches count as a clean up crew? I mean city's and snails will get eaten in 2seconds flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
