Oscar fight!

But darn the nitrates

Water change more frequently, I have lots going on with my Discus at the moment and I'm doing 25% water changes every 4 days to keep the nitrates in check.

Cichlids are interesting beasts, how big are they now, they look like they must be around 8-10 inches

Now that is a pouty face.

Water change more frequently, I have lots going on with my Discus at the moment and I'm doing 25% water changes every 4 days to keep the nitrates in check.

I'm doing 40 percent every other day

 

[itiwhetu]

I'm feeding the Discus three times a day, as I have two pair playing games with each other.

 

[itiwhetu]

You must think of Cichlids as puppy dogs in a tank.

 

[Floridapierce78]

Put them on the naughty step til they behave.

I removes the divider . And immediately..

 

[Floridapierce78]

You must think of Cichlids as puppy dogs in a tank.

I do

 

[Floridapierce78]

This is Making me so nervous. So I need to let this continue?

 

[itiwhetu]

Inroved the di idea. And immediately..

Good job, now watch what happens. Mouth wrestling is good. Chasing each other into a corner not good.

 

[itiwhetu]

If one chases another into a corner of the tank and hounds it that is dangerous, otherwise let them kiss in a Cichlid way

 

[Floridapierce78]

When should I break this up?

 

[Floridapierce78]

One constantly pursues the other one. Your saying. If they get into a corner break them up?

 

[itiwhetu]

Have you a large flat stone ( rock) in the tank, if not find one and put it in the middle of the tank, that will give them somewhere to lay eggs, and may distract them a little

One getting backed into a corner is not good, but be patent

 

[Floridapierce78]

I can't keep watching this. When i intervene they stop. Byt one is getting beat up pretty badly and the other one will not leave it alone.

 

[itiwhetu]

Remember these are big tough fish and need to prove their strength before they spawn.
