I put the Mbipia in with 6 dither fish, 6 Endlers...when I came home today, 3 are missing...even though the Mbipia are listed as herbivores, them must eat other fish when given a chance..no sign at all of the other fish...

Yea, that is what I intended but it helped my Kribs feel more comfortable when I got them. The Mbipia are very active, still swimming in school formation and love to eat.

Two week update...fish are growing...have some green water problems but that should clear up as tank ages. The largest of my brood is starting to develop some maroon on the outer edges of the fins.

The saulosi I got are growing nicely, not fast by any means but I'm excited watching them grow. As soon as I get the tank better decorated I'll try and get some pics uploaded. I'm pretty sure there are a couple males. Even with them being small I can spot some black on their fins and some egg spots. Hey kory, when can I get the cool CAST signature attached to my posts? usafishbox

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give an update. Unfortunately it's not a good one. affraid

The greenwoodi males are obviously not getting along. Yesterday I found a small male dead by the pump and tonight I noticed one of the larger males, pretty beat up.

I've noticed a little chasing but have not noticed any bullying. I'm down to 5 and 1 of the 5 is in a floating basket for now.

Here is a few PICS and then a video before I pulled him out.

His right eye looks bad

and lost his color

Thank you proyect01!

Tonight he is still kicking in his floating basket. Swimming around a little crooked, did not eat but he is still alive.

Weekly update: Tank is still has some green water but getting better. I have added more plants and pots to simulate rocky environment with places to hide.

I have a couple of other planted tanks and thought this would make gardening easier....7^)

Do you think I need rocks since they can hide between and in the pots...

Pam Chin has just bare tanks for her fish.

Just asking not arguing since I have not raised rock dwellers before.

Hi aspencer a world of advise please be careful with that circuit breaker box behind the tank and water. You don't want any water getting in there

Not ideal but that is the ONLY place in our house for a tank. It is above the top of the tank so I cannot foresee a problem getting water up there.
