[Sik-lid_dude]

Can u guys name me some active cichlids ?

I've been told that parrotfish ain't active
Shame Realy wanted one

Im talkin about fish that u'd find in a typical aqua shop

 

[matt_storey]

I have a couple i need to get rid of as my tanks over stocked,

is this for your 60l tank? Cos you can only really get dwarfs in there

What size tank and tank mates is the crucial info needed for recommendations

I got 1 180l tank, 1 190l and a filly stokd 300l tank

It's a 190 litre filled with 4convicts 1severum 2angels. I might put my flowerhorn in there..

All cichlids are "active" IMHO, just how active will be down to the individual fish and the circumstances it finds itself in

What are the full stocking lists of each tank? Your 190l sounds overstocked cichlid wise.

Are your current cichlids not active? If they aren't then maybe you should address their current tank mates/environment...

a 190 liter tank with 4 convicts a severum and two angels is really a bad idea and putting a flowerhorn in there is just stupid. The 190 liter is no where near big enough for your severum and convicts are far to nasty to house with angels.......

disaster.

I would seriously reconsider how you stock your tanks..... What are the stockings in the other two tanks?

Convicts are active when I ain't near, the SEVERUM is very active

Not to b nasty but

Y do u people say convict cichlids are evil and aggressive l, mine are happy with their surrounding. For some reason they swim in a shoal and they scared of my SEVERUM which is the sane size

As thousands of people say - it's up to the fishes " fishinality" - if u pardon the pun

Everyone gets along

Everyone gets along

Are they fully grown? If you're not sure if they are then just list all their rough sizes.

Based on your other posts and the tank video/pics none of the fish look anywhere near fully grown.

ah i imagine you will be fine then dont worry

 

[Always Learning]

ull b fine den dun wori, ur fishes r happy, av enuff space n will liv happily evr after.

Why not add an Oscar, Flowerhorn, Jaguar, Salvini, Green Terror, Red Devil and whatever else you fancy too. Plenty of activity then...

Just to consider that you might pay some attention to the advice being given to you in the threads here, when young cichlids do often show "shoaling" patterns but this is just a case of the young sticking together where as as they age they will often rile for top possition and then it will get to a point where they want and need their own space which in a tank is a real issue.
