Bully Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Also I wouldn't have thrown them in cold turkey, if possible put them in a quarantine tank first u don't won't a lotta dead fish from some sick fish... Have u got a good rock and caves system, they do like to hide a bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Bartley Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 well most of them are all around the 4cm to 7cm mark. all juvies just about. although there are 2 sharks in there at around 10cm. the other fish in there are 4 red empris 4 elec yellows 5 elec blues 1 mangaino 4 commets 4 red top zebs 4 tangerine peacocks 2 ob peacocks 3 eruka red peacocks 2 sharks 4 clown loaches 1 pakastarni loach 1 eel tail cat fish 1 pleco plus i think there would be about 4 more that i cant remember what they are. its a 500lt tank with vol rocks and hidy holes, obviously not enough does any reckon theres to many in there. theres about 40 maybe all cichlids are around 3cm to 7cm mark.
