alright yester day i went to petland were they a half sale for there aniverserary. so i picked up a orange south american cichlid and 4 neo tetras. i woke up this morning no tetras and only one remaining danio. so was he eating becasue he was angry, exited, agagtated or something?

75g
1 bp
1misc sa
1 lonely danio

29
2 daffodils
some fancie guppies
i think they might be mating
 
also they bp is sowing some new aggrasion towards thet new guy. its not to bad but i made it so the new guys had about 6 places were the bp can not physicly go.
 
should i get more dithers?
 
He ate them because he's a Cichlid. It's what they do.

Any dithers you put in there will eventually meet the same fate, so go w/ fast, cheap ones if that's what you want.

Personally, I'd suggest that some more research would leave you happier in the long run. Look at what's available in your area, pick 2-3 favorites that you think you must have, and research them. See if they'll go together or not, see what will go w/ them and how bib they'll get. Then go back and buy what will work out.

PS - this is a better place to do your research than the LFS is (about 90% of the time).
 
Considering that "sa cichlid" could be anywhere from the dimminutive Apistogramma cacatuoides to the bohemoth Oscar I don't see how we can help you. You will at the very least need to describe the fish using terms other than "Orange". I agree with the above post. You need to research more.
 
guess what?

no more dithers
all eaten by the new guy.
i thaught sa cichlids dont eat other fish.
could it have benn misslabled? :huh: :huh:

I think you brought home a Red Devil. That would explain the eating of the small fish and being aggressive toward the other fish. Post a picture,then we could see what kind of fish you picked uo.
 
i dont have a camera so i think your right now. should i go to the pet store and get a diffrent fish and some replacement fish for eating mine? its scared of the bp though and its only an inch bigger. people say bp are *****es. mine my language but thats what they said
