Name Me Some Active Cichlids

[Curiosity101]

Could you just list the actual fish list for each tank, with rough sizes of each fish? I reckon the reason you've not had problems is definitely due to the fish still being immature. After a year convicts shouldn't still be immature/small. But in your other thread didn't people ID your cons as being something else?

Between this thread and your other, you don't add up.
Like how you say they have been fine for a year, yet here they are only 4-6 months old.

I bought a bunch of convicts wich look the same but the y don't look like convicts,
They are 4-6months old, the biggest one is two inch, hers a pic

Several tanks, yet here you don't..

I understand.. But I have no spare tanks.. The fish that are pikin on my 7convicts are.my blue afra and baby flowerhorn, litraly every 2mins atleast one has to get bullied, my blue area is quite the #40## Basterd along with my flowerhorn.

Fantastic mix of fish there...

Is this the tank still?

Either way, you don't seem to want to take the advice of people more experienced, nor does the hobby seem to be the right thing for you. You even ask if a fish is hardy as you don't clean them out often.. so it's as if you are expecting them to be in crap conditions..

I'm going to buy a 3-5" parrot fish for £13-£16 is it worth it ?
Are they hardy ? Or do they die easy, bcos I don't clean my tank often.
How can I teach them tricks ?

Most of the fish need a bigger tank than you have.. either the one in the video, or any of the others, real or not. Take a bit of time and research each species before throwing them into a tank and hoping for the best..

Yeh, the four convicts I bought are different types of convicts compared to the small ones, the convicts I'm talking about have different colours and stuffs, my pc ain't wrkin that well, so I cudnt chek the vid. But if the vid is of the ones with small fish and ocean rock- that's my 180 tank.

I hav researched most species they are doing fine together. Except the convicts in my 180 tank, one of them is getting bullied by the biggest convict fry.

Btw I've got rid of all the peaceful fish in the video, except the gouramis.

Btw it's true in a way... Dnt Realy listen :L

Btw I clean my tanks every three weeks- Thts quite bad huh?

 

[kaivalagi]

and you think people will bother giving advice anymore...lol....

 

[minxfishy]

Dont feed the troll people

 

[Sik-lid_dude]

I'm gna what the other guy sed and not buy anthib and just do some research.

 

[walkers101]

First of all im having a real hard job reading your posts now im not amazing at punctuation etc. but you take the biscuit. Second if you listen on these forums you will go far trust what the others are saying they generally do make sense.

 

[Verminator89]

Just came across this thread - oh boy

 

[bonzo]

I would listen to the advise given as these guys know what theyre talking about.

Thing is... the advice we're trying to give you at the moment IS you doing research. But you're ignoring it all.

Seriously. Make a list right here of all your fish tanks AND exactly what is in each one AND the rough sizes of each of the fish.

You say in one post they're all getting along, and in another that some are being bullied... Do the best for the fish, if even 1 fish is being bullied then let us help you by telling you want needs removing/rehoming. Sometimes it's hard to accept when looking at a 'peacful' tank that the fish are likely to reach sexual maturity and beat the hell out of eachother. But we're not saying it cause it might happen... Alot of people on here keep all the cichlids you mention and have kept them for years and in lots of different set-ups. They know what works... and while personality of the fish can play some part... there is often a true nature that can't be denied or ignored.

surprised anybody is even bothering to still answer this thread. this bloke is obviously just taking the proverbial and trolling . nobody could be that ignorant , and if they are , then theres really no helping them. if his tanks really are stocked like that i feel sorry for the fish , but i suspect a wind up here
