none Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Blue Eyes are very hardy and easy to feed. If they are not eating chances are they are being bullied even if you don't see it. Could also be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Why would you mix Africans and Americans in the one tank ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBree420 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 What water parameters? If the Malawi's do well, there's a high chance the water is very wrong for the blue eyes. Also Malawi's are annoying, there's a lot more to bullying than just a big fish picking on a smaller fish. My solution would be to separate the Americans from the Africans.
