I have a 56 gal that used to thrive with peacock cichlids before hurricane sandy killed most of them. I re-introduced some assorted africans that were pretty small so I thought it would be safe. Was I wrong, they singled out my remaining peacocks and killed them all off 1 by 1 so now all I got left are these 2 killer cichlids and 1 purple cichlid that the killers are both picking on and I'm sure will soon be dead.
I'm contemplating on flushing them, going to a much wider tank like a 75 or 90 or just giving up being an aquarist all together. Going to a 90 is do-able but tight in the area I'd put them. Flushing is obviously wrong but simple. Giving up looks like the easiest thing to do but I think I'll miss it.
What would you do?
Thanks in advance
