Blood red parrot cichlids....

[mooserx]

Hello to all,

i am currrently running an established tropical freshwater tank of 180l. in said tank there is:

2x tinfoil barbs

2x rainbow cichlids

3x red eye tetras

1x plecostomus

1x catfish

3x blood red parrot cichlids.

1 of the parrot cichlids was added affter the other 2, (who have now become a breeding pair ) it is now trying to rule the roost and absolutely battering the female breeding parrot who is consistently hiding amongst the plants.

does anyone have a suggestion as to sort out the problem of the bully????

You will need to buy a bigger tank for all those fish.

 

tinfoils can reach 12inches

The plec 12inches+

Parrots 8inches+

the guy is right, your tank is too small for all them fish, never mind a breeding pair, suggest u get a bigger tank so everyone can have space. i had a pair of breeding oscars in a 4ft tank with 3 tinfoils. almost killed my tinfoil untill i got my new 6ft tank. now there all happy

the plec is a minature variety and will only grow to about 4 inches the rainbow cichlids are fully grown around 3 inches, the barbs have been moved to a seperate tank and the bullying parrot cichlid has been returned to whence he came with no problems.
