whytri Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 anyoe got problems with keeping these guys with other tank mates. i just got some today nd thought it would be ok but every cichlid i have seem to love to munch on their tails. even my fry tank which has cichlid as small as 3cm have a go at them and the longfins are lik 6-8cm(not including tail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxious_nasties Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I lost 8 keeping them wih fry that size too... you just never can tell with cichlids what they will and won't attack. I think its very much an introduction thing as well as a territory issue that caused the losses but bn are not meant for african water anyways I believe. If you have some tight caves and things scattered it should help the bn escape if the cichlids are being aggressive. I also find with many things that new introductions act as a magnet to other fish for a little while - if they can last for a month or two then less aggression may be seen as the interest can (but not always) die down. I am no expert on the matter though, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
