I totally agree! just because cichlids can be aggressive, doesn't mean they should be all the time. it's stressful, plain and simple. how would you like it if your mother-in-law was bickering and nagging you 24/7? not a very good quality of life.

As far as I can tell all of the fins look great on all of those fish and their colors are stunning. So I dont think they are constantly getting beat up. My Severum and JD fight from time to time, but never hurt each other, Am I being a bad fishkeeper?

yes what he said.
 
:hi: wow I saw nothing wrong... All I saw was a couple of cichlids being bored and having a little fun. It did not look serious at all. The fins are fine the colors were on full blast and the music was catchy too :laugh: I have seen serious cichlid fights BELIEVE ME THEY ARE VIOLENT! I had a red devil (deebo the picture by my name.) I had to seperate him from all my other cichlids I used to have him with two jags, a texas, a dovii, and a jack. He killed the texas and the jack, the only cichlids that held their own were the jags and dovii. They suffered a horrible death. :sad: Im not going to go into details but lets just say that my jack had a BROKEN JAW before he died. :sad: anyway what I saw was a light hearted arguement not a serious brawl.

Actually I have seen the owner of this tank on another forum and I think he has a 210 gallon tank. So it is not that overstocked. So I realy have no idea what sumthinfishy is complaining about.

Yes thank you for saying that. That is very true. He got on my case about my fish and it really pissed me off because my fish are not fighting or anything.
 
its ok he got on my case becuz i converted my cichlids to brackish water and they are all doing great. He thinks that he is like a saint, that he is this super humanitarian but what he doesnt realize is that they are after all just animals and cannot sit down and logically think about their actions... they are fish yes they are smarter than most fish but they will do what they want... but anyway yeah hes annoying. :) how long have you had your fish for??? becuz they look really nice.
