Will I have a problem.?

[AndrewMack]

I have 2 yellow zebra cichlids and 2 green cory cats. well I just added two Red Tail Botia's and they have been chasing my cichlids around the tank for hours, kinda like they want to eat them!!! but their not quite fast enough to catch them. Will I have any problems, should I tank the Botia's out.

no your fine right now but once those zebra cichlids get older then i think you should get those botia out because they would be to aggressive for them remenber african cichlids should only be kept with other aggressive africans as well

Yes that is true. I dont know but botias are pretty aggressive.

 

[AndrewMack]

**** that sucks. the Botias are awesome. Is there another type of Loach you recomend? I dont really want clown loaches, their too common

 

[AndrewMack]

Will i have a problem with the botias going after my cichlids or will the cichlids going after the botias. I was thinking about getting a pair of seargent major loaches

I think that the cichlids can defend there selves. Are the botias actually taking chunks out of them.
