scottscape Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 from your description an vid it looks like you have some auratus in there, keep an eye on them they are super aggro and i would look at getting around 15 more dems as these guys need to be in big colonies to spread the aggression. They are super aggressive amongst them selves and your 2 will prob become 1. Maybe some red top ice blues, i think i can see 1 at the end of the vid. You should be fine with theses if they are still juvies but as they get bigger your probs will start. I would suggest going with a hap/peacock tank or getting rid of them and going all mbuna, all 3 together is generally considered carnage. Thanks for the advice, bad news for me I will keep an eye out for problems and do some more research on them. Cheers *Edit - a quick youtube search for Auratus Cichlid has let me know just how much of a ticking time bomb this tank probably will end up being... :facepalm: there is like four of them in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 All Africans are ticking time bombs, Mbuna in particular IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah i would move the auratus on unless you want to do a tank of them by themselves, you would need a few more though. Have you had any luck finding out what else you have in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had any luck finding out what else you have in the tank? Well if you are interested I took a video. In other news the coral rock has turned pretty much all green. I don't know how to do a forum video clip thing. http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6971 ... mcyali.mp4 http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/844 ... jfocv.mp4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Whats the white pipe on the right hand side for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottscape Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Whats the white pipe on the right hand side for? Its piping because the tank is drilled. I capped it off because I have enough filtration for now. It's an eyesore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 To hard to tell from vid, looks like some ice blues maybe, e yellows the auratus and a venustus or livingstoni can't really offer much help till we know def stock list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Its piping because the tank is drilled. I capped it off because I have enough filtration for now. It's an eyesore Remove the piping and plug the hole if it bothers you. You could just silicone a glass patch over the hole and then put the piping back if you want it later.
